Is there a heavy duty hood strut ?
I put a fancy embroidered hood insulator on my car and kinda regret it but guess I will keep it.
Even with new hood struts the hood will not stay all the way up..........anyone know of a heavy duty hood strut ?

I have had the standard Stabilus gas hood struts on my all steel cowl hood for over 3 years with no problems.Bought at O'Reilly's auto parts.
