Subaru Genuine Hood Prop Grommet - 57253AA010

Used it on my wifes 2004 Subaru Outback when the original grommet wore out and fell off. Went in with a bit of fussing about (mainly figuring out which hole it needed to be put in) and problem solved.

perfect fit.

This replaced my 2008 Subaru grommet that holds the hood prop to the firewall. I used a little Armor All as a lubricant and a small screw driver to push the edges in with gentle force to get it into place. Perfect fit!

The thing is rubber. Smells bad, and it tastes worse, and it doesnt matter how much salt, pepper, or butter, (and butter makes everything delicious) I put on it (trust me. Ask me how I know). I would not recommend to to be eaten at all. So Yea, This keeps the prop rod in the proper place in a Subie! The prop rod is very much needed, in the car and used properly because it keeps the front hood up safe- like so it doesnt come down and hit you on the head. Mine hit me on the head already. It really hurt. Do yourself a favor. Just Purchase one of these things, put it in, put the prop rod in where it belongs and save the big bump or your gourd for someone else. Worth every dime. Did I say the hood hit me in the head???

Perfect fit so now the hood prop rod stays in its mount

Perfect fit, reasonable price

This is just what I was looking for, for a special project.

Genuine oem Subaru. Why not…

Perfect fit. Works like new.

Fit perfectly! Now the prop rod for the hood of my Subaru is actually useful again!
