If you have a vehicle that has hood struts and the hood will not stay up and it comes down and hits me in the head. They are getting replaced at your expense. That is actually a hazard for us as technicians. I understand that people really don’t think about the hood strut, but when the technician is under the hood of a vehicle and it’s staying up and he’s laying underneath that and that hood falls down on him. It can give him a concussion. It can give them back problems because that sharp hood latch can come down and stab them in the back it can fall on them and hurt them so if you have a vehicle with hydraulic Hood props and they fall and hurt me, they’re gonna get replaced at your expense Usually they’re no more than $100.  or less
