I used a Volvo 850 rear trunk struts(sedan), UBER stiff and good length
Even if only 1 is on it'll open no problem

I was actually thinking of fabbing up a pair of these the other day from a set of rear hatch cylenders I had lying around. Make the mounts out of aluminum. It would be cleanly done of course.

Yes I do have them. I have the same David has.


I don't think explorer ones would work. I was looking at my father in laws explorer. The way they mount is why I don't think it would work.
