A seemingly trivial yet essential component for the proper operation of the bonnet opening and closing is the stay that acts as a damper for the structure. Over time, it may deteriorate and require replacement with a new, fully functional part.

How to do it? The operation is straightforward for anyone, and there's no need for a specialised worker. First, remove the old part: using a spray will make this even easier.

Then, with the new stay ready for installation, completing the replacement will be a breeze: these systems are usually inserted 'snap-fit'.
