Default Re: Trunk lid lifts

If anyone else is looking, for my Coupe, I replaced both of mine recently with these from Amazon.
Monroe Shocks & Struts 900118 Universal Lift Support Monroe Max-Lift Lift Support

They are showing $18.40 each today, I paid about a dollar more through a seller on Amazon listed as AutoPartsZilla. No problem with the seller, and was free shipping. When I checked at local parts stores, nobody had them in stock anyway, they would have to order for me.

I did some research about the length when open and the length when closed, and these Monroe's looked like they are the best fit. I believe Stabilus was the original brand.
I am satisfied when I let the hatch go, in a reasonable normal position, that it closes firm enough to catch fine, and not slam shut too hard. When I bought the car a few months back, I thought I would shatter the back window eventually if I didn't fix it.
