REFLECTOR: gas spring for door

[Rene Dugas]

Doug,
I use a gas spring from the trunk lid of an Intrepid (Chrysler).  Mine
came from Advanced Auto parts and has a lifetime warranty.  I bought
mine 3 years ago and change them out at annual each year on Advanced
penny.  Mine get weak each year.

My gas spring for the door is 20 years old and won't hold the door up.
It's made by Eberhard, part number EB-EAA-8350-P1-60. It's 12 inches
fully extended. Is this same gas spring shipped with the kit today?

I bought one at AutoZone today that was 12.5" long, but I think the
spring is too strong. It distorts the door a little when it's closed.
