RE: rear hatch STRUTS on '90 Westy stopped workingI would be concerned
about
this approach for two reasons:
1. Aren't those struts pressurized?  Seems dangerous to drill through
there.
2. Since the diameter of the strut is not that great, I would have concerns
about compromising the integrity/strength of the stryt by drilling a hole
through it.
Have you actually done this?
Seems like a nifty-sounding idea (cleaner looking than the PVC tube trick)

I assume he meant drilling through the metal rod part, not the pressurized
      cylinder.  Not worth the trouble in my opinion for <$40.
