Product Details

Front Hood Shocks (Struts) for Porsche 911 (991), Boxster & Cayman (981/718) — Genuine Porsche. Simple Fix. Important Safety Item.

As your Porsche ages, the hood shocks that hold your front trunk lid open can weaken and wear out. The result ranges from mildly annoying — a hood that doesn't open all the way — to genuinely dangerous. A hood that won't stay up is a hood that can fall, and that's not a risk worth taking. These are Genuine Porsche replacement hood shocks, built to the exact factory specification, so your hood opens fully and stays exactly where it should.

Genuine Porsche. Not Aftermarket. Not a Knockoff. These are the real thing — OEM parts made to the same standard as what came on your car from the factory. Installation is straightforward and can be done at home with basic tools.

What You Need to Know:

Front Hood Struts ( Verified Buyer )
5 out of 5 stars.
John (Texas) | May 31st, 2022
Super easy to install. Replaced the front hood struts on my 2013 Boxster S in less than 5 minutes. Remove the clips on the old ones with a flat head screwdriver and pop on the new ones.
Easy replacement for my 991.1
5 out of 5 stars.
Robert Schmitt (Nashville) | January 7th, 2022
After getting hit in the head, from my front bonnet falling (multiple times) on my 9 yr old 911, I decided it was time to do something about it. This is the exact same OEM Porsche part I took of my 2012 911. Super easy and quick to replace.
Great OEM product
5 out of 5 stars.
Tim | December 16th, 2021
These were easy to install - use a screwdriver to pop open the hinges of your existing struts so they slip off, then there pop right on. Very high quality and work perfectly. The difference in support between old and new struts is like night and day. So definitely worth replacing every few years as an affordable and simple DIY task.
No Brainer!

Norman R. (CA) | November 26th, 2021
A recent visit to my dealer resulted in my purchase of the struts. Dealer wanted $400 to replace my hood struts and a video on YouTube convinced me to purchase these OEM hood struts and install them in only 10 minutes at a savings of $300. Thank you SunCoast!
Good Struts

A wonderful experience and perfect replacement parts. The ordered struts, two, arrived within one week of order, took 5 minutes to install (if that), and restored the hood to its original ability to stay the heck up!

Porsche Parts Warranty Information — Suncoast Porsche

Understanding your warranty coverage is important. Below is a complete overview of warranty terms for Genuine Porsche OEM parts, aftermarket parts, and closeout items purchased from Suncoast Porsche and SuncoastParts.com.

Warranty Coverage by Product Type

Genuine Porsche OEM Parts — 2-Year Warranty

All Genuine Porsche OEM parts purchased from Suncoast Porsche or SuncoastParts.com come with a 2-year, unlimited mileage, parts-only warranty beginning on the date of purchase.

If your parts are installed at an authorized Porsche Service Center, both parts and labor warranty coverage may apply if the part is deemed defective within the 2-year warranty period. Coverage varies by location — please check with your local Porsche dealer prior to installation to confirm their specific warranty participation, as each Porsche Center is independently owned and operated.

Important warranty notes for online purchases:

  • Labor, diagnostic, and installation fees are not covered when parts are purchased online from SuncoastParts.com or Suncoast Porsche, unless the parts are installed by an authorized Porsche Service Center
  • Warranty claims must be processed in person at an authorized Porsche Service Center
  • Warranty service is honored at any authorized Porsche dealer in the United States, however some dealers may decline warranty claims for parts purchased online or from another dealership — always verify with your local dealer before installation
  • If a warranty claim is approved and the part was not installed by a Porsche Service Center, installation of the replacement part remains the customer's responsibility
  • Suncoast Porsche and SuncoastParts.com are not liable for any diagnostic, labor, or installation fees charged by another Porsche Service Center

Aftermarket & Performance Parts

Warranty coverage for aftermarket and performance parts varies by manufacturer. Most carry a 1-year limited warranty. Contact us for specific warranty details on any aftermarket product. Please note that diagnostic time and labor costs for warranty replacements are not covered.

Take-Off & Closeout Parts

All take-off and closeout parts are sold as-is with no warranty and are not eligible for return. Pricing on these items reflects their as-is condition.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover

The following situations and conditions are explicitly excluded from warranty coverage:

  • Improper Installation or Misuse — Damage resulting from incorrect installation, negligence, unauthorized alteration, or accident. This includes any use in racing, competition, or motorsport applications
  • Lack of Proper Maintenance — Damage caused by failure to follow the vehicle's recommended Maintenance Schedule, or failure to use the correct fluids, fuel, oil, or lubricants as specified in the Owner's Manual. Proof of proper maintenance is the owner's responsibility — retain all service receipts in case questions arise
  • Consequential or Economic Losses — Towing fees, rental vehicles, loss of use, loss of time, inconvenience, or any other indirect economic losses
  • Vehicles Outside the USA & Canada — Parts installed on vehicles registered or primarily operated outside of the United States or Canada are not covered under this warranty

How to Obtain Warranty Service

Installed by an Authorized Porsche Dealer

If your parts were originally installed by an authorized Porsche dealer, warranty repairs may be performed by that same dealer or any other authorized Porsche Service Center in the United States. Please allow a reasonable timeframe for repairs after delivering your vehicle to the dealership.

Installed by an Independent Repair Shop

Please be aware: All warranty claims must be inspected, performed, and documented by factory-trained Porsche technicians at an authorized Porsche dealership. Work performed at an independent repair shop does not qualify for warranty consideration. If warranty coverage is a priority, we strongly recommend having your parts installed at an authorized Porsche Service Center.

Documentation Requirements for Warranty Claims

To process a warranty claim, the servicing Porsche dealer will require:

  • Your original sales receipt or order confirmation from SuncoastParts.com or Suncoast Porsche
  • A completed warranty certificate
  • Proof of proper vehicle maintenance history (if applicable)

Suncoast Porsche retains sales records on file for two years. If you need a copy of your receipt, contact us and we will provide it promptly.

Additional Warranty Terms & Legal Disclaimers

This warranty provides you with specific legal rights. You may also have additional rights that vary by state.

Porsche does not authorize any individual or organization to create additional obligations or liabilities beyond those stated in this warranty. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose is limited in duration to the term of this written warranty. The exclusive remedy under this warranty is the repair or replacement of the defective part.

Suncoast Porsche and SuncoastParts.com shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising from a breach of this written warranty or any implied warranty.

Some states do not permit limitations on implied warranty duration or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages — the above limitations may not apply in your state. Additionally, installation of certain parts or accessories may affect your Porsche New Vehicle Warranty. Please consult your authorized Porsche dealer for full terms, or contact us with any questions.
