Golf cart hood bracket
Product Overview
This product is a specialized prop rod designed to support the hood (or front engine cover) of golf carts. It replaces traditional heavy and prone-to-damage metal manual prop rods and is manufactured from high-performance engineering plastics (such as reinforced nylon or POM - Polyoxymethylene). Its core function is to safely and reliably hold the hood open during vehicle maintenance, providing a hands-free, stable working space for owners and technicians. It is a practical upgrade accessory designed to enhance convenience and safety.
Product Advantages:
Ultra-Lightweight & Corrosion-Resistant | Extremely lightweight compared to metal rods, making storage and handling effortless. Completely immune to corrosion from moisture, oil, battery acid, etc., and will never rust, ensuring a very long service life. |
Easy & Safe Operation | A unique locking mechanism ensures the rod securely locks in the raised position, effectively preventing the hood from accidentally closing due to slippage, greatly enhancing operational safety. |
Robust & Durable | The selected materials possess high mechanical strength and anti-creep properties, capable of supporting the hood's weight long-term without bending, deforming, or breaking, offering reliability far superior to ordinary plastic parts. |
Non-Destructive Installation & Versatility | Designed specifically for golf carts, it typically requires no drilling or modification, allowing for quick installation using original mounting points. Highly versatile and compatible with many cart models. |
Product Features:
Ergonomic Handle | The handle is designed for ergonomic comfort, providing a comfortable grip for easy raising and stowing. |
Precise Length & Angle | The length and joint angles are precisely calculated to ensure optimal positioning when deployed, providing the most stable support. |
Integrated Joint Design | The core joint components feature an integrated design, reducing wear points for long-lasting, smooth operation. |
Neat & Aesthetic Appearance | Features a refined finish, with colors that coordinate with the engine bay environment, maintaining a clean and tidy appearance. |

FAQ
Q1: Can this plastic prop rod reliably hold a heavy hood? Will it snap suddenly?
A1: Absolutely. The reinforced engineering plastic we use offers tensile strength and rigidity comparable to metal, with a design safety factor significantly higher than the actual weight of the hood. The product undergoes rigorous load and fatigue testing to ensure it will not suddenly break under normal use conditions.
Q2: Do I need to drill holes in my cart to install this prop rod?
A2: In most cases, no. This product is designed to match the original mounting points of mainstream golf carts. Typically, you only need to remove the original fixing screws, align our rod's base, and retighten the screws (using the provided or original ones), achieving a truly non-destructive installation.
Q3: In hot weather, the engine bay gets very hot. Will this plastic rod soften or deform?
A3: No, it will not. The selected high-performance engineering plastics (like reinforced nylon or POM) have a high heat deflection temperature, far exceeding the maximum temperatures encountered in a golf cart engine bay even in extreme weather (usually not exceeding 120°C). Their thermal stability ensures they maintain shape and strength in high-temperature environments.
Q4: Is this prop rod compatible with all brands of golf carts?
A4: This rod is designed for broad compatibility and typically fits most models from major brands like Club Car, EZ-GO, and Yamaha. However, before purchasing, we strongly recommend checking the compatibility list on the product page or contacting our customer service with your cart's specific model and year to ensure a perfect fit.
