Subject: Re: bus depot hatch springs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
The two paid that filed on my van both had the thick
end attached to the rear door. For me, it was pretty
much all or nothing - the struts will hold the door a
little over halfway up. But being that I'm 6'5" tall,
doesn't do me a lot of good.
Is there a better quality strut available (btw - the
failed hatch struts are the Heavy-Duty German-made
variety)? Again, I'm not looking for negative
feedback on The Bus Depot - but I want to see if my
situation is an isolated incident like they have
claimed.
Thanks
