Why not just buy a set of new struts from the B.D.?   They are so strong for
the first year or so that children or average
women can't get the hatch down.   Then they settle down to normal.  I've had
mine for several years now and I'm still satisfied.
If they fail in the next year or two I will buy another pair and not
complain.
