The two paid that filed on my van both had the thick
end attached to the rear door.  For me, it was pretty
much all or nothing - the struts will hold the door a
little over halfway up. But being that I'm 6'5" tall,
doesn't do me a lot of good.

Is there a better quality strut available (btw - the
failed hatch struts are the Heavy-Duty German-made
variety)?  Again, I'm not looking for negative
feedback on The Bus Depot - but I want to see if my
situation is an isolated incident like they have
claimed.

Thanks
