Rear hatch shocks/struts for a Dodge Omni will work - Napa part # BK(Belkamp) 819-5207. Old post to the mail list states they work great. I have not used these myself.

Larry Finch (on this board) has used them and reports the following...

Deck Lid Shocks

Just thought I would pass on some information on replacement deck lid shocks. Found the part number on the P.I. bulletin board, installed them tonight and the function is fine. Holds up my no-wing lid just fine, closes easily, doesn't seem to be too firm.

Probably not strong enough for a winged lid. No information on strength (pounds) of force.

NAPA part # BK 819-5207 Compressed length of 10.34", extended length of 16.77".

Note the NAPA catalog image shows this to have different fittings at each end, but this is incorrect. Both ends have the correct flat plate with a hole needed for our application. Total cost for two - $40.36
