Watch out.  I bought struts from NAPA and they started sagging immediately.  Buy what folks on the list recommend.  BTW I think L & R are same.  What should we get, fellow Vanaheads?

Hello All


It is my understanding that the struts for rear hatch are not the same on
both side, for hatches that have the wiper/washer feature.  At least this is
what is reported to me by the local VW dealer's parts department.  Does
anyone know of an alternate source (other than VW) that makes a suitable
replacement and that accounts for the apparent difference in the struts from
the driver's and passenger's side?  Pep Boys says they have struts, but does
not make a distinction between side of the hatch.  Thanks for any
suggestions.
