In this review the TSUBASA lift supports are evaluated as a direct replacement for the manual hood prop on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 907/910/VS30 models from 2018 to 2024. The single biggest reason to buy is the improved convenience: these front bonnet gas struts let one-handed opening and secure holding of the hood without modification. Installation is straightforward and the kit includes the brackets and fasteners needed, so drivers looking for a clean swap that restores easy access to the engine bay will find value here.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Each package includes two front hood gas struts plus the mounting brackets and screws needed, reducing extra purchases and installation guesswork.
• Carbon fiber construction: Dampers use carbon fiber elements for a more durable and corrosion-resistant finish that looks upgraded compared with a plain prop rod.
• Simple installation: The supports install by turning screws and require no drilling or modification, allowing most users to fit them in around 30 minutes.
• Improved usability: Once fitted the struts let the hood open and close smoothly and hold it in position for safe, hands-free access to the engine bay.

This kit is best for Sprinter owners who want a reliable, bolt-on alternative to a manual hood prop and prefer a neat factory-like appearance. It suits DIY mechanics and fleet managers who value quick installation and the convenience of gas struts when performing regular maintenance or inspections.
