New Sprinter Vans come with a difficult-to-use hood stay. This video walks through the simple upgrade of adding gas struts to your Sprinter to allow the hood to open and close without holding it up manually.

Did this in the parking lot in 15 minutes flat! Works sooooo much better than the little rod thingy that Mercedes had. Thanks guys for a great product!

Received and installed today. Thank You! Kit is changed from video. Ball end with short threads mounts on bottom and uses 7/16" wrench on ball end. Upper ball ends have longer threads and use 1/2" wrench on both ends. Black washers go on both sides of raised washers.

If you have the Van Compass ditch light brackets installed, the gas strut interferes with the bracket. It probably needs modification.

I just installed my Owl hood struts and my Revel has the VC ditch light brackets. The latest version of the hood struts fits perfectly!!!!!! Thanks John and team! They even lift my hood with the hood solar panels installed.

How about a hood strut kit for the 2014-2018 906 NVc3 model?

Will this work on a 2019 Mercedes Benz 3500 Sprinter?

$19 flat rate to ship these? Come on John.

Have you shipped anything recently? Our cost ranges from $17-$25 to ship those. We heavily subsidise shipping on our larger products but on low cost items we cannot eat the shipping. We aren't amazon.

Will these fit on a MB 2016 3500 Sprinter? We have a 2017 Winnebago Navion.

Just got the hood struts and Pedal Control for my 2020 3500 4x4.The pedal control cures the turbo lag and love the instant power.The hood gas struts are very strong to hold the heavy Sprinter hood up.The hardware is very well made and fit like it's a factory Mercedes part. Well done Owl.
