Reviews for Mopar J4007456 Hood Prop Rod Clip for 01-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ
I bought one for my jeep and was a very east install. I just asked my neighbor to come over to install it and he did. Very easy for me.
Glad they are available
Part for the Job
Excellent
Worked like a charm. I think some of the complaints about breaking stem from a misunderstanding of how the part installs. It is necessary for the lower portion to "break" so it can drive upwards and act as a wedge which spreads the upper clips to secure it in the hole. Be sure you've got the correct hole, gently insert the upper clips, then push the lower portion up--it will "break" and thrust the lower body/stem between the upper clips, forcing them to spread and be wedged open far enough that the part can't just slip back out.
If you accidentally break it into two pieces before inserting, you can still use the part, but you'll have to use two hands to hold the upper clip in place while inserting and driving up the lower piece.
Sorry my explanation isn't the greatest, if I had a spare to burn making a video I would, but I don't.
Perfect fit
Install is a little tricky, but keeps hood rod from rattling
Concur with Matthew H. Fit is loose and it broke almost immediately, i.e. put it in the hole, lifted up hood prop to put in clip, and clip broke. $15.99 for this? Ridiculous.
