Martha Sweringen Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just had to replace the windshield washer fluid on my 2014 Rx 350 ( after having a 70k maintenance) and discovered that the hood wouldn’t stay open? I thought it was my other RX so i proceeded to look for the “arm” none!! What got messed up? The hood won’t stay open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 The hydraulic hood support struts are worn out. A sign of wear is when they keep the hood up in warm weather but not in colder weather. Here are the OEM part numbers from https://www.toyodiy.com/ SUPPORT ASSY, HOOD, RH - 53440-0E020 SUPPORT ASSY, HOOD, LH - 53450-0E010 Googling the part numbers should find both OEM and aftermarket replacements. They are fairly easy to replace. I've replaced several sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
