What amazes me is a buddy of mine has a Pickup, with a camper shell. It is a 1980s pickup, and he put the shell on it back then. The rear glass struts are 30+ years old, and still work fine. They evidently can be made to last forever, but if you sell them, why not make them a disposable item so the sales never end.
It wouldn't be such a big deal if the strut next to the fuse box wasn't so difficult to replace.
