DIY to change front hood shocks on 2004 C240? Is this the right part?

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

Will the following part work?
Anywhere to get it cheaper?

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

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.
