My front hood (engine) doesnt stay open.
Cant find a diy on this anywhere for my 2004 c240.

No clue about that set but two of my favorite MB parts sites have the OEM and OES shocks available for a good price.
Pelican Parts

Rmeuropean
http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe...5pVs5-WbQ.aspx
http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe...gGzPJvIew.aspx

Both offer free shipping if you spend a certain amount and both have some of the best pricing and customer service around. I always stock up on air filters, oil filters, drain plugs and washers if I need to bulk up the price.

I believe they just pop off fairly simply if you PM me too remind me when I get home from a Basket Ball game I will see if I can find the WIS document for you.
