Used Nissan NP300 Bonnet Strut

The Nissan NP300 Navara uses a traditional metal prop rod to hold the bonnet open rather than gas struts — there are no bonnet struts fitted to any variant of this model. If your bonnet is not staying open, the prop rod, its retaining clip, or the bonnet hinge is most likely the worn or missing part you need.

The NP300 Navara uses a single manual prop rod that slots into a hole in the bonnet or engine bay to hold the lid up — a very common setup on commercial pickups of this generation. If you are searching for a bonnet strut, this prop rod is almost certainly what you are actually looking for, and breakers will list it under bonnet prop rod or bonnet stay.

Because the NP300 Navara does not use gas bonnet struts, a strut failure cannot be the cause — the vehicle relies on a prop rod instead. Check whether the prop rod itself is bent, missing, or whether its locating clip or socket has broken, as these are the parts that fail on this model.

You will not find a genuine bonnet strut listed for the NP300 Navara because the model was never fitted with one from the factory. When contacting a breaker through Findapart, ask specifically for the bonnet prop rod or bonnet stay for the NP300 generation (D23 platform, 2015 onwards) and they will be able to help you with the correct part.
