I agree. I've installed 5 sets now on various friends vans. Including the heavy duty struts (they are hard to compress with no pop top load). A big recommendation from me too.


I did make my own home brewed version (http://shufti.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/vanagon-pop-top-assist-struts/)  just because a friend gave me some ball end fittings and I had some old hatch struts. It worked out fine but it really was not worth the time and effort, better to buy JackBombay's kit.
