Description
Eliminate the inconvenience of your factory hood prop rod and upgrade to the USP Motorsports Hood Strut Kit, engineered specifically for the Volkswagen MK6 Jetta. This premium kit replaces the outdated manual hood prop with a gas-assisted strut system, delivering smoother, easier, and more professional hood operation every time you open your engine bay.
Volkswagen did not include hood struts on the MK6 Jetta from the factory, leaving owners with the hassle of lifting the full weight of the hood and manually inserting the hood prop. The USP Hood Strut Kit solves this issue by providing a modern solution that enhances both functionality and appearance. With this kit installed, opening your hood becomes nearly effortless, and once raised, it stays securely in place—no prop rod needed.
Engineered with long-term durability in mind, the kit features a high-quality gas shock developed in collaboration with a German aerospace-tier manufacturer. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and zinc-plated hardware, along with powder-coated CNC-bent brackets, ensure this strut system performs in all weather conditions while looking great under the hood. The result is an OEM-style fit and finish with superior usability and longevity.
This complete kit includes everything needed for installation and can be fitted in about 30 minutes using basic hand tools. Step-by-step instructions are included, along with a critical installation warning: the "L" bracket must be installed on the lower hood mount bolt to avoid damage.
