SCITOO Bonnet Struts for Kia Sorento 2011-2015 — Pair, Direct-Fit OEM-Style Gas Lift Supports

SCITOO hood struts for Kia Sorento 2011–2015 are a pair of OEM-style gas lift supports designed to replace worn or broken hood shocks and hold the hood reliably open.

These SCITOO hood struts are engineered as direct-fit replacements for Kia Sorento models from 2011 through 2015. They match the original mounting pattern and come as a two-piece set so you can replace both supports at once. Built with multi-lobe sealed lift brackets and sun-protected piston rods, they aim to resist vibration and weather exposure for longer service life.

How do these replacements match my Sorento's original parts?

Each SCITOO strut is manufactured to mirror the stock geometry and mounting points so installation aligns with factory locations. The listing cites many equivalent OEM numbers, helping you confirm compatibility before purchase.

• Fits Kia Sorento model years 2011–2015
• Cited cross-reference codes: 6267, PM3413, SG350009 and many OEM numbers
• Direct-fit ball-stud and bracket dimensions for original hardware

What materials and design features improve durability?

SCITOO uses a sealed multi-lobe lift bracket to reduce ingress of dirt and moisture, while the piston rod is treated for sun and corrosion resistance. These features slow wear from constant opening and closing and from environmental exposure.

• Multi-lobe sealing reduces vibration and contaminant entry
• Sun-protected piston rod resists UV and corrosion
• Gas charge calibrated to support OEM hood weight

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only a flat head screwdriver to release the retaining clips and reinstall the ball-stud sockets. The pair ships ready to swap in as replacements with no special modifications.

• Includes two lift supports (left and right)
• Basic tools: flat head screwdriver and optionally pliers
• Estimated time: 10–20 minutes for both sides

Which checks should I make before ordering?

Confirm your vehicle’s year, hood configuration, and original part numbers if available. The product references a long list of cross-IDs to help match the correct variant for your Sorento.

• Verify model year 2011–2015 and hood mounting style
• Compare existing part numbers with the provided cross-reference list
• Contact seller if your Sorento has non-standard aftermarket brackets

Who is this for: These SCITOO hood struts are intended for Kia Sorento owners (2011–2015) who need a reliable, cost-effective replacement for failing hood lifts. They suit DIY mechanics who want a direct-fit swap, fleet maintainers replacing worn components, and anyone restoring a Sorento to safe, factory-like operation. Prior to purchase, buyers should confirm compatibility with their exact model year and hood attachment style to ensure a proper fit.
