Electric Hood Lift on 1991 C4 Basic.

My hood is very heavy and I want to buy or make an Electric Lift. Has anyone made one of these before?

No, but you can buy a brand new strut, and add the 2 small struts on the sides and it practically opens itself. I have all 3 and it's great and harder to close than open. $75 max to resolve this issue.

Who sells that? Any pictures?

The car has one large prop rod and there should be posts on the sides for 2 short ones. When you pop the hood it basically lifts itself. Not all were set up the same from factory some uses scissors in stead.
