Subaru Genuine Hood Prop Grommet - 57253AA010

Hood prop on my wife’s Subaru Outback works just like new. Recommend for all Subaru owners. The rubber wears out and looses its ability to stretch and will start cracking with age.

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

Part was as expected, easily installed. Came surprisingly faster than expected.

Exact fit for my 04 WRX

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.

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.

Perfect fit and quality
