Gas Struts - again! Autohomes solid sided poptop

Post by TravellingChick »

Hi

Have been trying to order new gas struts from SGS for my autohomes solid sided poptop. I managed to get the part number off the side of the ones in situ now but they don't correspond with what SGS have and they asked me to measure the struts.

Getting the roof up on my own is a mission due to me being a weakling little girl and there being no gas in my struts so was wondering if anyone out there could tell me what the part number and/or length of the struts on theirs are?

Also, if I get a new tailgate strut will the tailgate lift with two bikes on the rear?

thanks in advance
Sarah
