Subject:hatch struts: 2 strong ones or 1?
From:David Clarkson
Date:Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:17:25 EDT

I used the one strong/1 less strong combination and have had no problems
for about 3 yrs. now. Found an article online or in the list or Samba
archives  with a supplier. Whatever you do, don't waste money on the cheap ones
that you  find in many FLAPS. Ask me how I know.

I don't  intend to put a rack on my back hatch.  I've read that 2
strong ones  can make the hatch fly up when you open it.  I've read
that one strong  and one weak will let you leave the hatch partly open
and it will  stay.  I've read that 2 strong ones last longer than one
of  each.  Is all that  true?

Thanks,
Edward
