Q&A:
Q: Will this fit for my 2008 Sentra SE-R with VSL hood struts?
A: Yes! Compatible with all Sentra trims (Base/S/SE-R) and Quest models regardless of hood configuration.
Q: My clip hole is rusted—can I still install this?
A: For corroded frames, use our Rust Repair Shims (sold separately) to restore snug fitment.
Q: Why does the new clip feel tighter than original?
A: Intentional design—the reinforced grip prevents gradual loosening. It eases slightly after 10-15 openings.
Q: Can I use grease during installation?
A: Avoid lubricants. The self-lubricating nylon requires dry contact for maximum friction hold.
Q: Does this work with aftermarket carbon fiber hoods?
A: Yes, but ensure your hood's mounting hole diameter is 22mm±0.5mm. Measure before ordering.
Q: What if I break the clip during installation?
A: Contact us immediately—we'll ship a free replacement with priority mail.
