there is a guy on ebay (thelittleguyent) who sells hatch struts cheap and has free shipping sometimes in his ebay store. i just bought some for my 1g and it only cost me $44.95 for a PAIR but i havnt received them yet to attest to the quality of them. according to his add though, they are supposed to be high quality (These are made by a German company SACHS, an OEM supplier to BMW, Mercedes Benz and Porsche. You know you can't go wrong with the quality of these hood shocks. Why settle for less? After all, they pioneered the HOOD / TRUNK SHOCKS TECHNOLOGY.)

anyway hope this helps

I just got mine for like, 50 bucks from a local AutoZone... Why are they so exspensive everywhere else?

Hi, i'd just like to share this to the community. if you are a cheapo such as myself, or 2g rear hatch struts are hard to come by, you could use your tonneau cover as a stand instead. it looks oem and it is free. just remember to gently lay down the hatch onto the tonneau cover so as not to break the cover. you have to tilt the cover to a 90 degree angle. i hope the picture pushes through

By the way...necro thread is necro

Yeah, my PO did that, and now mine's broken.

Please guys, don't do this. Just buy some new struts!

The hatch is heavy, and if it falls, fingers are coming off.

 

[Kirkamus]

its ok if fingers come off god wouldnt have given us 10 if we werent ment to lose 1 or 2

Doesn't get much cheaper than $37 for a pair. If you'd rather risk crushing your hatch cover and blowing out your back window, by all means use the suggestion in post #17.

 

[Doubleot]

That's way cheaper then I paid a few years ago. I think that's a must on any 2g.

Can ours not get re gas'd or oil?? What ever is inside them, i just ended up buying new from jnztuning. I mean mine went out 2 years ago so if they lasted 14 years on 1 set then the oem ones must be good for the price! Just saying cheap is not always the cheapest in the long run
