Second Hand Ford Tourneo Bonnet Strut

The Ford Tourneo uses a traditional prop rod (stay rod) to hold the bonnet open rather than gas struts - bonnet struts are not fitted to this model as standard on any variant. If your bonnet is not staying up, the part you need is the bonnet stay rod and its retaining clip, not a gas strut. Search for 'Ford Tourneo bonnet stay' or 'bonnet prop rod' instead, and quote your registration to the breaker to make sure they pull the correct piece.

It is very unlikely these are genuine factory-fit parts, as Ford did not equip the Tourneo with gas bonnet struts from the factory on any generation or trim level. What you may be seeing are aftermarket conversion kits that replace the standard stay rod with gas struts, which some owners fit as an upgrade. If you want a like-for-like used replacement, ask your breaker specifically for the bonnet stay rod rather than a gas strut.

Because the Tourneo uses a stay rod rather than gas struts, the most likely culprits are a bent or broken bonnet prop rod, a worn retaining clip, or a damaged bracket on the bonnet or inner wing where the rod locates. Give your registration to a breaker and ask for the bonnet stay rod assembly, and they can check whether the bracket is also available from a donor vehicle. Replacing the full stay assembly is usually a straightforward job.

Some owners do fit aftermarket gas strut kits to the Tourneo as a convenience upgrade, and kits are available from aftermarket suppliers designed to suit the bonnet hinge geometry. However, this is a modification rather than a like-for-like used-parts job, so a vehicle breaker is unlikely to be the right source for this - a motor accessories retailer or online aftermarket supplier would be more appropriate. If you simply need the bonnet to stay up reliably, sourcing a good used stay rod from a breaker is the straightforward factory-correct solution.
