REFLECTOR: Door strut

FYI

I use the short struts sold by Nate Calvin for the doors.  I found they
were the same struts as the trunk struts on a 1999 Dodge.  I bought
replacements for about $18.00 each.  I went to buy some new ones last
year and was told they are guaranteed.  They were replaced last year and
this year for free when I returned the sagging one.  Therefore three
sets for $32.00 at Advanced Auto Parts store.

Does anyone have replacement part numbers, perhaps AS&S or maybe even
NAPA, JC Whitney, etc?  I would also appreciate how much of it I need to
get for one door (I only have one).

 

Rubber Door Seal (those 'D' shaped jobs with adhesive backs).

Door Edge Treatment (those 'U' shaped jobs with aluminum liner)

Door Lifter Gas Spring (looks suspiciously similar to what we have on
our Civic Hatchback)

 

 

Gas spring for door is 60#, 17.13" length, 6.3" sroke.

McMaster-Carr Part # 4138T566.  $19.51
