I got two of the "strong" struts from Bus Depot two years ago and they're still going strong.

Hi All,
Winter in Montana causes my rear hatch struts to have no back pressure till the hatch is half way down. Must need replacing... seems I remember sometime back some comments regarding getting both of them replaced with the stiff ones from one of the flaps but cannot remember which... Is my assumption correct and anyone remember which vendor?
Thanks,
Rod
