So Roberta & I spent the weekend at Fontana Lodge having to hold the hatch open when we wanted to gain access to the area below. (Note: If I parked on a somewhat level surface, the hatch struts would support the hatch in the open position. So I knew the strut cylinders were just beginning to enter the failure mode.) Late yesterday, the new replacements strut cylinders arrived via Amazon and we installed these earlier today. Oh what a difference!! Cost me $21.19 for the pair (incl sales tax) with free shipping from Amazon Prime.
