Fitment questions

Does the Ford Fusion actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a bonnet stay rod?

The Ford Fusion (2002–2005, and facelifted 2005–2012) uses a simple metal stay rod to prop the bonnet open rather than a gas-filled strut — there is no bonnet strut fitted to any variant of this model. If your bonnet is not staying up, the part you need is the bonnet stay rod and its retaining clip, not a strut. Search for 'Ford Fusion bonnet stay rod' or ask your breaker for the prop rod that locates in the hole on the bonnet inner panel.

My Ford Fusion bonnet won't stay up — what part do I actually need to fix it?

You need the bonnet stay rod, sometimes listed as a bonnet prop rod or bonnet support rod — this is the hinged metal arm that clips into a hole to hold the bonnet open on the Fusion. The clip or retaining grommet that holds the rod in place is a common failure point and is often available cheaply new, so check whether the rod itself is bent or the clip has simply broken first. A breaker can supply the complete rod and clip from a salvaged Fusion if the rod itself is damaged.

Will a bonnet stay rod from a pre-facelift Fusion (2002–2005) fit my later 2006–2012 Fusion?

The Fusion received a facelift around 2005–2006 which brought changes to the front end, and while the basic bonnet stay rod is a simple component that may well interchange, you should confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying — they can check the part number on the rod from their donor car to be sure. Because this is a mechanical prop rather than a panel, the chances of compatibility are reasonable, but we cannot guarantee it fits across the facelift boundary.

Does trim level affect which bonnet stay rod I need — for example, does a Zetec or Ghia Fusion use a different one?

Trim level does not affect the bonnet stay rod on the Ford Fusion — the same prop rod is used across Fusion trim levels including Zetec and Ghia. You do not need to match the trim of the donor car when sourcing this part from a breaker.

Could the bonnet stay rod from a Ford Fiesta Mk5 fit my Fusion, given they share a platform?

The Ford Fusion is based on the same platform as the Fiesta Mk5 (2001–2008) and shares a number of front-end components, so there is a reasonable chance the bonnet stay rod is common across both models. However, you should confirm this with the breaker by checking against your Fusion's registration before purchasing, as minor differences in bonnet panel geometry could affect fitment.
