HDT Quick Prop Rod Carbon Fiber | Patented Adjustable Prop for Hoods, Doors, and Trunks

Overview

The Carbon Fiber HDT Quick Prop Rod is a patented support tool built to give technicians a stable, adjustable prop for hoods, doors, and trunks across most vehicles. Made with a lightweight carbon fiber body and WilleyQuick’s push button connection system, the HDT delivers firm support with minimal panel movement.

Designed for fast setup and steady performance, the HDT prop rod extends from 15 inches to 23 inches, giving you the flexibility to adjust height, angle, and pressure based on the repair. The C end locks onto the striker, while the loop end engages the latch with a simple push button slide. Once set, the rod holds the panel solid so you can work with clean precision.

The HDT Quick Prop Rod is trusted by professionals for door work, hood support, trunk repairs, liftgate adjustments, and situations where a stable hold is mandatory.

Detailed Features and Benefits

Carbon Fiber Body for Lightweight Strength

The carbon fiber construction keeps weight low while maintaining strong structural stability. This helps prevent sagging or flex during use and makes the tool easy to carry in mobile setups.

Adjustable From 15 to 23 Inches

The telescoping design offers a wide range of height options. Adjust the rod to match hoods, doors, trunks, or liftgates across many vehicle types.

C End for Secure Striker Mounting

The C shaped end twists onto the striker plate for a tight, secure anchor point. This connection prevents sliding or shifting during setup.

Loop End With Push Button Slide

The loop end fits directly into the latch. Use the push button slide to fine tune length and lock the rod into position. This fast adjustment is ideal for high volume PDR work.

Minimal Panel Movement

Once installed, the HDT holds the panel steady with little to no flex. This ensures accurate pushes, clean knockdowns, and steady blending.

Reliable Across Multiple Panel Types

Use the rod to support:

• hoods

• trunk lids

• rear liftgates

The carbon fiber body provides strong, even pressure without slipping.
