Hood lifts? - Toyota Yaris Forums

staticorex · 05-25-2007, 07:36 PM

Hi all. I was just wondering if there is a company that makes hydrolic hood lifts for the Yaris. There's a company that makes them for my other car, as well as a bunch of other ones, but they don't make one for us. Any other companies out there?

- I don't know if I can post a link to their site to show what I'm talking about. Edit: link and pic below. :)

Post away!

If they could be convinced to make a set of lifts for the Yaris, those of us doing the battery tie-down GB might be interested!

hood lifts are like condoms... totaly useless... It's this line of tinking that may have gotten 7 out of my 10 fingers broken, and 11 kids. Oh well.

Here you be. I love mine. Wish I could find one for the Yaris.

Mabey the XA one would work. Is it the same hood?

Doc Zaius · 05-25-2007, 09:31 PM

Just emailed them, and they emailed back:

Yes - we hope to have this designed this year sometime - we have already
spec'd it out, just need a volunteer near us in Dexter, MI.

Thanks,

Anybody live near Detroit who'd be willing to check this out?

Wow. That's great. I don't live out there but I hope one of us here does. :)

as of right now no one makes this for our cars. my friend got his corolla set from a guy in tailand or china or something....

LucaItalia83 · 05-26-2007, 02:04 PM

very good .. i'm interested to make the same one dares, 'cause I have a handycap to one hand ...and to open the cowling with a single hand is not the maximum ... very goog and nice idea !

LucaItalia83 · 05-26-2007, 02:04 PM

price ?

staticorex · 05-26-2007, 02:57 PM

They range from about $70-$110. There are two kinds. The basic and the one with painted braces and stuff.
I have the better one which, I feel, was worth the extra money.

You start to lift the hood and it opens itself the rest of the way. real nice. Mine has two though. We will only need one like the XA cause of the small hood so prolly about 70ish buck for us would be my guess.

Edit: yeah the XA elite is $79.95.

LucaItalia83 · 05-26-2007, 03:33 PM

thanks for information , but , i'm think a single lifts is sufficent for the small hood of the yaris ... I see where to find them in Italy , thanks

staticorex · 05-26-2007, 03:45 PM

Yeah the Yaris kit should be one lift. The Elite is still one, it just has better parts. I haven't seen a basic one yet. All the people I know who have one have the elite. :)

I lived 45 min from them, I sent them a msg and left them my name and # and told them they can have my car to play with for measuments and mock up

Ive been tinkering with the measurements using a Hydrolic lift cylinder ment for trunks/hoods that you would recieve from Autozone, costs about 20 bucks for 1, Just need to find a bracket set to mount.

Should have a prototype up in a couple weeks...just waiting for the paycheck.
