I just recently bought a gas strut kit for my rear deck lid from Pelican. Can you say overjoyed! After one of the plastic rollers broke I was going to replace it with brass ones. What a headache! On top of that the springs interfered with my carb filter assemblies. While placing an order with Tom at Pelican I discovered they had just gotten the kits and it has been one of the best things I have tossed a hundred bucks away on! It took about an hour to install. Don't follow the directions for mounting the trunk hinge brackets too closely. Instead of placing the brackets completely rearward in the hinges check for strut rod interference with the hinge bolt when the strut is lying parallel to the deck lid. This may differ on some deck lids but probably not by much. Good luck, Ian
