Replace the hood props. The gas charge leaks out over time, and what IS still in them becomes less effective in cold weather. Any auto parts store or hardware store has replacements.

THEY ARE EZ TO INSTALL, SOME SNAP IN, OTHERS REQUIRE SOME SMALL TOOLS (TORX/ ALLEN WRENCH/ PHILLIPS/ ETC)

IT MAY REQUIRE TWO PEOPLE TO HOLD THINGS UP, SOME AUTO STORES WILL ASSIST IN INSTALLATION
