2004 Chevrolet Ssr: Hood prop failure. The flimsy hood prop holding the gigantic Ssr hood is bent. I have purchased an aluminum hood prop to use instead of the faulty factory thin prop. Many have failed and hoods have fallen all the way closed. Mine would too were I to continue use.

Vehicle: 2004 Chevrolet Ssr problem: Flimsy hood prop rod and a very heavy hood. The rod slipped and the hood fell. Luckily no one was injured, but could easily have been. Solution: The 2005 Chevrolet Ssr is reported to have a self supporting pneumatic lift. The 2003 and 2004 Ssrs should be retrofitted by Chevrolet at no cost to the owner.
