They said it would fit a 2018 to present Mercedes Sprinter. It does not! Maybe a 2020 to present but not mine! I can not return it.

Simple to install. Make a world of difference. Not sure why they are not standard from factory.

Great value & work fine. Installation is a bit more difficult than the reviews state & the instructions are just a picture of what the struts look like assembled so not much help. Here’s what I learned:Get someone to hold the hood up while the struts are installed or find something to prop the hood up. One of the struts uses the hole that the stock hood brace fits into. Would have been very easy if I knew all of this before I started.

Purchased this for my 2022 Mercedes sprinter van. The factory hood prop was always annoying in my opinion.When I search the web for a hood shock solution, I was actually surprised that the ones that popped up were up to $150 someone that said it before, but these pneumatic shocks are relatively inexpensive so when I found this kit on Amazon for $42 I figured to give it a try.Insulation was very simple with some hand tools. You need a 10 mm socket and 12/13 mm opening. Wrenches insulation takes only a few minutes, but you need someone to help you hold the hood up while you work on it.When you’re ready to attach the strut to the hood, do not compress them with your hand to try to fit if the shock is too long just hold the hood up higher until the ball socket connects then you’re in good shape

The product is well made & quite refined. Installation is straightforward, however the accompanying instructions could be much better particularly with respect to attaching the strut to either end mounting balls. I almost damaged one end by trying to pressure fit without using a small flat screwdriver to release a retaining clip that is used to capture the ball in the strut end fittings. Nothing mentioned about this in the instructions. Seemed a simple statement or picture would help amateur installers. Other than that, all was good.

I bought these to eliminate the dreaded one hand lift and hold while trying to place the hood hold up rod on my Sprinter. I looked at many brands, and these seemed to be reasonable quality at a decent price, and they are! They are good quality, very good price, and very easy to install. I looked at other brands but the price was very high compared to these. The install was about 15 minutes, and I did have to place a flat washer under the bottom bracket to raise the bracket just a little bit to keep it from rubbing on the fender frame. Do not fret when you install these thinking they are seized as they are not. You cannot move the gas lift by hand, and have to install them, then raise and lower the hood and the pistons will adjust. Time will tell how they hold up, but it is great just lifting the hood and not doing the one hand hold anymore! I recommend these!

Easy to fit, fitted the right side first, then the left. Why Mercedes do not fit these as standard i do not know. Very happy with the purchase, does the job.

purchased X AUTOHAUX version and the brackets were too small junk. these brackets are excellent build quality and size and fit the winnebago REVEL, 2019 mercedes sprinter perfectly. super easy install. they hold the hood up fine. we will see how the shocks hold up over time. like 1/3 the vanlife/overlander store cost. get em while you can.
