Felix,

Lots of places carry hatch cylinders that work - even J.C.Whitney. The last I
got from The Bus Depot (www.busdepot.com) are a bit stronger than stock, fit
perfectly and work well. Ron at Bus Depot is one of the aftermarket dealers
that supports "the list" and has good prices and service.

is there a place other than the dealer where i can find a new pair of the
hydraulic cylinders that keep the rear hatch open ?  what type would you
recommend; original or aftermarket ?

yes, i'm saving to buy a bentley manual.

thanks for your help.
