Reply to "Deck lid struts"

For those worried about heat, I was tired of changing my struts regular which is challenging enough with a one man job. So I decided to try some heat shield (from Jegs or Summit I believe) around the thick part of the struts and wrapped that in insulation foam and I install them whenever I go for a run. The outer foam tube just helps keep the heat shield material in place, fits nice. Maybe even heat shield wrapped with correct diameter hose could work too. I decided to try this once I noticed I couldn't even touch my struts after a run. Once I stop from a run for a show or whatever I just remove them. Yes they are still pretty warm but not like toast without them. My new struts have lasted for several years, so far so good.
