Hood Damper

Hood Damper
For several years now, the shock/dampers that hold up my hood have gone out. Embarrassingly, I use a golf club to prop-up my hood nowadays. It looks like the standard nissan/infiniti part costs about $150.00, which I'm not willing to spend. The 9 iron is embarrassing but not $150 embarrassing. I went on amazon and found that there are several generic options and I picked one that cost around $20.00 Needless to say it was garbage, didn't hold the hood, and I sent it back. Before I go back out there and try my luck at another brand, has anyone else had any success in this area?
Thanks,
Matt

$20 does sound like a cheapo version. There's a reputable brand of aftermarket struts out there.... Hold on.... I think it's "Strong Arm". Found them and a couple add'l choices here: https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/ye...SEDAN%204-DOOR
Sachs is a well-known brand for these type of struts. They are OEM for some vehicle brands, if I'm not mistaken.
