Rear deck struts
Are struts for a non spoiler deck adequate for a 930? If not, what should I use?

Parts listing I have only shows one part number 911 512 331 02
This agrees with the Pelican Parts website. Not sure if there are better options.

911-512-331-02 is the correct part. I just replaced mine in February.

After replacing my struts in the rear and the front several times in my 15 year ownership I finally switched to the Rennline mechanical struts all around. I love these things and don't expect to ever replace them again.

my gut on the frequency of these failing is proportionate to their (lack of) usage - use them more often and they last longer
I replaced mine when got it 18yrs ago and they've been fine since 8) |

I replaced my rear ones once and if I recall one in particular was a royal pita to get to.

I've given up on struts due to their short lives. Have carbon prop rods from a poster on Pelican both front and rear.
