Does anyone know where to get new Hatch gas struts or do you need to get someone to recondition them?
Mine have lost their lift and it will look a little ugly with a broom handle holding the hatch up!

From this thread, I have not tried them myself.

Those interchange to a number you can find here...can get them at rock auto for under $15 each in other brands. I might order a couple and see how they go..mine are a little weak actually as well. (not too bad, just when it's real cold out)

i brought new ones from the penrith guy.he was great to deal with.

[LS1 Hatch]

How much were the new ones there? (just curious to compare against the ones here...assuming they work properly)

[LS1 Hatch]

Well, the first ones I got were not the go....too weak to hold the hatch up. I found some other ones though with a higher weight rating and were the perfect length, and work perfectly.

i cant remember how much they were.i dont think they were expensive.and they hold my hatch up great.
