Your right, all they did was tack weld the piece on the existing hood style and bolt the other piece on the fender. My question inthe past was if it was possible to get those parts to add to the 03-04's??Bill Scott said:

My question inthe past was if it was possible to get those parts to add to the 03-04's??Bill Scott said:I looked at an 05 yesterday and it sure looks like you could put the hood struts on an 03 or 04 The attachment bracket on the body slips between the fender and the body under a bolt where a fender shim would fit, and the bracket on the hood is a piece that has been spot welded. I guess what I'm thinking is that the 05 struts appear to be an add on to 04 sheet metal. It would be nice to compare them side by side to be sure.
One thing is for sure they do work NICE !!!
I would buy both.fiftiesnut said:I was wondering if any engineers or fabricators among the members would have connections to GM venders. If so why not venture into providing after market retro equipment that could upgrade areas of the 03-04's? The hood strut retro kit would be an excellant place to start. Another suggestion would be felt kits for the window rubber seals. I think it would go over well myslelf..

I would have hoped that GM concerned individuals would get the replacements made for us. It seems they put all our concerns on the back burner since the HHR is their priority now.REBEL said:I would have hoped Steel rubber corp. would have replyed by now on our window rubbers ... maybe 15,000 units is not enough to generate production of new item.
