A hood lifting mechanism (10) includes a housing (22) and a piston rod (24) movably mounted in the housing (22) so as to be extendible from the housing (22) in a first direction. A retainer (32) is secured to an exterior of the housing (22) so as to define a cavity (32c) between the housing (22) and the retainer (32). A locking member (50) is positioned in the cavity (32c) and structured to contact the piston rod (24) so as to impede motion of the piston rod (24) in a second direction opposite the first direction.
