2015 Mustang Redline Tuning QuickLIFT Elite Hood Strut Kit Install Video
Redline Tuning 21-11028-03 Mustang Hood Strut Kit Bolt-In 2015
Today we are showing you how to install Redline Tuning's QuickLIFT Elite hood strut kit on a 2015 Mustang GT. One of the first and easiest modifications most Mustang owners should make is a quality hood strut kit. Ford insists on putting an ugly prop rod on these cars making them both an eye sore and an annoyance when working under the hood.
The Elite kit is made constructed of 316L polished stainless steel custom-valved gas springs giving your engine bay a nice clean look. installation is simple and with a few basic tools, can be installed in your driveway in less than an hour.
If you are looking to clean up your engine bay, than check out the QuickLIFT Elite hood strut kit from Redline Tuning.

First, Steve, and Bill, let me say that your install videos, no matter the product, are really well done, and I fully appreciate your efforts. Even though I don't (yet?) have a '15 Mustang, I am enjoying watching Bill do these things to show us how it's done/looks, and have for previous models and parts.
Keep up the great work, y'all!

Now on this particular item, one thing pops right out at me: The hole for the battery cover for the passenger side lift strut.
I am... somewhat surprised that the strut would need to be removed to get the cover back off in the event that the battery or terminals needed tending. Because that's what happens, the strut traps the cover in that install, and so you'd need to remove it to get the cover off.
I myself would lean towards a rotory tool, after the hole is punched through, to make straight cuts on the cover to the fender side. This would allow the strut to not have to be dismounted, and allow the cover to just slide off to the side. Or maybe, because I have some, tin snips would do...
I'd also probably look into dressing the cut with some sort of piping/door edge guard of some sort. Or chamfer/round the edge maybe.
Anyway. Just sorta crossed my mind, and thought I'd say it.
Again, though, keep up the great work on these videos, they're awesome and helpful! Thanks!
