Subaru Genuine Hood Prop Grommet - 57253AA010

Perfect fit so now the hood prop rod stays in its mount

Part was as expected, easily installed. Came surprisingly faster than expected.

Fit perfectly! Now the prop rod for the hood of my Subaru is actually useful again!

Exact fit for my 04 WRX

This replaced my 2008 Subaru grommet that holds the hood prop to the firewall. I used a little Armor All as a lubricant and a small screw driver to push the edges in with gentle force to get it into place. Perfect fit!

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???

Works as should

This was an original part that fit perfectly.

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
