ABSTRACT:
A prop assembly for temporarily supporting a closure panel in an extended position removed from a body opening has a rigid elongated prop which has one end hinged to either a closure hinge coupling the closure panel to the body or directly to the closure panel. The other end of the prop slides in a guide slot formed in a bracket mounted to the body and is captured in a detent formed in a proximal end of the guide slot to retain the closure panel in the extended position. The prop assembly allows an operator to move the closure panel to an extended position which is secure with a single motion using only one hand.
