Hyundai Accent Bonnet Strut Replacement Parts

The Hyundai Accent uses a manual prop rod to hold the bonnet open rather than gas struts, so there is no bonnet strut fitted to any variant of this model. If your bonnet is not staying up, the part you are likely looking for is the bonnet prop rod and its retaining clip or bracket. Check with a breaker for the correct prop rod to suit your generation of Accent.

No bonnet strut was ever fitted to the Hyundai Accent across any of its generations, as Hyundai used a simple hinged prop rod on this model instead of gas-assisted struts. This is common on budget and entry-level models where manufacturers save cost and complexity. The part you need is most likely the bonnet stay rod, sometimes listed by breakers as a bonnet prop or bonnet support rod.

Because the Accent has no provision for bonnet struts - no mounting points or hinge mechanism designed for them - fitting a strut from another model is not a straightforward swap and is not something that would be recommended. Your bonnet is designed to be held open by the prop rod, and that is the correct and safest way to support it. Ask a breaker for the Accent bonnet prop rod specific to your year and generation rather than looking at strut-based alternatives.

The part you need is the bonnet prop rod, which clips into a retaining hole in the bonnet or inner wing to hold it open while you work under it. These can bend, lose their clip, or the retaining clip holder can break, causing the bonnet to fall. When contacting a breaker, give them your registration so they can confirm the correct prop rod for your specific generation of Accent.
