Second Hand Nissan Note Bonnet Strut

The Nissan Note uses a manual stay rod to prop the bonnet open rather than gas struts, so there is no bonnet strut fitted to any variant of this model. If your stay rod is missing, bent, or the clip that holds it is broken, that is the part you need to search for instead. Some customers also find the bonnet hinge or bonnet release cable is the actual failed component, so it is worth checking which part of the mechanism has failed before ordering.

Listings for 'Nissan Note bonnet struts' are almost certainly mislabelled or refer to aftermarket gas strut conversion kits, not original equipment parts, as Nissan fitted a stay rod to the Note as standard. A used breaker will not have pulled a factory bonnet strut from a Note because none were fitted at the factory. If you want a gas strut conversion, these are aftermarket accessories and would not come from a vehicle dismantler.

Search for a 'Nissan Note bonnet stay rod' or 'bonnet prop rod' - this is the hinged metal rod that clips into a hole in the bonnet to hold it open. You will also want to check the stay rod bracket and the retaining clip, as these commonly break independently. A breaker parting out a Note will be able to supply the stay rod and associated hardware from the correct generation to match your car.

Because the Note does not use bonnet struts as standard, fitting a strut from another model would require an aftermarket conversion bracket and is not a straightforward used-parts swap. If you genuinely want a gas strut setup, specialist aftermarket kits exist, but these are not sourced from breakers. For a like-for-like repair, a stay rod from a matching Note generation is the correct and simplest solution.
