Subject:How long do gas struts last in storage?
From:BenT Syncro

Hi All,

Wondering how long one should expect gas struts such as those used on
rear hatches and hood last in storage? Thinking of buying spares and
just keep them stashed away. But most of stuff I read says gas struts
will leak a pressure periodically to the point of eventually rendering
them useless. Any ideas?

I noticed vendors tend to have clearance sales on gas struts which
seems to support the notion.

TIA,
