Subaru Genuine Hood Prop Grommet - 57253AA010

The thing is rubber. Smells bad, and it tastes worse, and it doesnt matter how much salt, pepper, or butter, (and butter makes everything delicious) I put on it (trust me. Ask me how I know). I would not recommend to to be eaten at all. So Yea, This keeps the prop rod in the proper place in a Subie! The prop rod is very much needed, in the car and used properly because it keeps the front hood up safe- like so it doesnt come down and hit you on the head. Mine hit me on the head already. It really hurt. Do yourself a favor. Just Purchase one of these things, put it in, put the prop rod in where it belongs and save the big bump or your gourd for someone else. Worth every dime. Did I say the hood hit me in the head???

Almost doesnt warrant a review because youd think its hard to get this wrong. But Ive been wrong before. I put this in my 2004 Impreza. Great fit, great quality, fair price.

Hood prop on my wife’s Subaru Outback works just like new. Recommend for all Subaru owners. The rubber wears out and looses its ability to stretch and will start cracking with age.

Hard to install but thas just so it wont fall out oe fit works like it should and is holding up

Lube it up, slide it in.

Works good works like a good oem replacement

Genuine oem Subaru. Why not…

Best grommet ever, except for Wallace’s dog of course...

Putting a little dish soap on the grommet made it much easier to install. Also, install the grommet first, then put the hood rod through it.
