GAS STRUT - HOOD FOR MOIDEL S 2012-2021 1062634-00-A

The Hood Gas Strut 1062634-00-A is a precision-engineered component designed exclusively for Tesla Model S vehicles produced between 2012 and 2021. As the primary support for the front hood, it replaces manual prop rods with smooth, effortless motion—elevating convenience, safety, and the overall user experience of accessing your Model S's engine bay.

• Effortless Hood Operation: Eliminates the need for manual prop rods. With a gentle lift, the gas strut smoothly raises the hood to the full open position and holds it securely—no risk of sudden drops, even on uneven ground.
• Temperature Resistant: The nitrogen gas charge maintains consistent pressure across extreme temperatures (-40°C to 80°C), ensuring reliable performance in snowy winters, hot summers, or desert climates.
• Durable Construction: Chrome-plated steel rod resists corrosion, while aluminum cylinder and nitrile seals prevent gas leakage and wear for long-term reliability.
• Safety Focus: Prevents accidental hood closure during maintenance with secure 650N force rating to support the hood's weight (approx. 18kg).

• Direct Swap: Replaces original gas strut without modifications—simply unclip old strut's ball joints and snap new one into place.
• Replacement Signs: Replace if hood sags when open, closes slowly, or makes hissing noises (signs of gas leakage).
• Pro Tip: For balanced support, replace both left and right hood struts simultaneously to ensure even lifting force.
