Hello, Not long ago, I commented that Ron's hatch struts would probably not last any longer than the other brands that I've tried. I based this on the fact that after a couple of years I noticed them weakening. All of my other struts were stronger in the winter and weaker in the summer, so I predicted that when the hot weather hit, the struts would fail. Well, I was wrong. Now that it's 100 degrees in Phoenix, the struts are _stronger_ than they were in the winter. In fact, if I were stupid enough to make another prediction, I'd say that they'll last form many more years. So Ron, I apologize for the post and the loss of sales that you may have had because of it. Mike '84GL '60 Vespa '58 Isetta Phoenix Arizona |
