Hood won't hold up

Hi, anyone else had this problem? My hood won't stay up anymore. It's a 09 and I hardly ever pop the hood and this piece of crap already took a dump on me. ARGGH Anyone fixed it and how much is it?

Thanks

The hood struts get weak after time. Easy fix. Go to Rockauto.com

That's your problem right there. The more you pop the hood, the longer the hood struts will last. Regardless it's a cheap and easy replacement.
