<< Problems with THE BUS DEPOT - Rear Hatch Struts >>

       Colin, I have a set of these struts.  They were installed about two
weeks ago.  There has not been any problems with them.  The hatch door stays
in any position I choose and the hatch will stay open with three bikes on my
bike rack attached to the hatch door.  Must be a faulty production run of
heavy duty struts or something else involved here.

Cheers
