After installing a spare tire rack and tire on my rear hatch it was no surprise the OE struts couldn’t hold up the hatch anymore—not a chance. After diving into several old threads trying to track down the proper “uprated” 1200n HD struts and striking out with several NLA suppliers in the UK, and domestically both I found a supplier based in California who was a breeze to work with, shipped for free and was here in just 2-3 days. Total cost $58.00, and the 1157n rating is close enough for me ?

?Anyhow I’m very happy with the final results w my “heavier than normal” rear hatch held up high and functioning normally?once again.?
