What hood lifts will fit an '89 Cressida?

IIRC, 1989 was a body style change for the Cressida so the hood lifts may not be the same.

I found aftermarket Mighty Lift supports at autozone.com when I looked up

1989 Cressida with 8-1/2" compressed length, 12" extended length with 70 lbs support.

I had the same problem with my Supra. A bright fellow who has left this group gave me this idea: get about 4" of PVC tubing, costs about 75 cents, cut a slot down the side, 'slip' it on one of the lifts (NOTE: "slip" is a misnomer...it takes some doing!). When you raise the hood, the PVC tubing gets between the mount and the top part of the lift and holds the hood open. Raise the hood, aling the PVC so it slides over the top part of the lift, and close the hood.

The lifts for this car are about $35 each. The PVC pipe is 75 cents.

A guy I know (with a Chevette, believe it or not) just clamps a set of Vise-Grips on the shaft of one of his hatch struts to hold the hatch open. Seems to work a treat.

I used that trick on the gas lift for the office chair I am using. The chair is in perfect condition except for gas spring that cost half price of a new chair. I never used the adjustable feature anyway - full height works just fine and the grandkids can't play with it.

How many do you want and how much do you want to pay?!?!

According to Hollander 89-92 will interchange.

I've done that, too, but you can't foget a piece of PVC around the strut!

I tried that previously. Did you look at the results? Do you see any that actually take you to a link for an '89 hood lift? As previously noted, they all seem to stop at '88. The only reference I even see for an '89 is the one that comes up for this thread.
