The Hood / Trunk Prop Rod on many Nissans is typically found just beneath the hood of your vehicle. It bolsters and supports the overall weight of your car's trunk whenever anyone needs to access the engine compartment.
Most vehicle repairs and maintenance services start with inspecting components and fluids beneath the hood first. In effect, a broken Hood / Trunk Prop Rod can make investigating engine trouble, transmission issues, and performing simple filter changes and repairs more complicated than necessary.
However, a broken Hood / Trunk Prop Rod is more than just annoying and frustrating. It can also put anyone that's working under the hood at serious risk of injury should your hood fall when servicing your vehicle.
Overall, a failing Hood / Trunk Prop Rod can make vehicle repairs difficult and hazardous. If you notice that your Hood / Trunk Prop Rod is damaged or is completely broken, replace it with a new one at your earliest convenience.
Installing the wrong Hood / Trunk Prop Rod can result in bodily harm if the component is not able to hold up your hood properly. To guarantee the proper function of your Nissan, make sure you get one made precisely for your vehicle. Shop for genuine OEM car parts at Nissan Parts & Accessories today!
