Mazda 6 3rd Gen 2nd Facelift (GL) Hood Strut Kit 2018+

This complete hood strut kit is made for the Mazda 6 3rd Gen 2nd Facelift (body / chassis code GL) produced 2018+, and includes two gas struts along with the vehicle-specific mounting components and installation guidance needed for this application. The gas struts hold the hood open and replace the original manual prop rod, so the hood stays up on its own. Rather than a bare replacement strut, this is a ready-to-install kit matched to your vehicle, designed to fit using the factory mounting points with no drilling and no body modification.

Other generations and body codes of the 6 use different mounting points and need their own kit.

Confirm the model, production year, generation and body code match your vehicle, and review any fitment notes listed above. If your vehicle has a specific hood type (for example aluminum or steel) or configuration, make sure it matches this listed application before ordering.
