Reply to "Sticky #2: Rear Deck Lid (Bonnet) Struts"

joules"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting" - Steve McQueen

The mounting and fulcrum point of the decklid shocks (or the Hass opener) is not ideal and stresses the decklid, hence the need to get the shock pressure correct and different shocks for wing and no wing.

The IPSCO relocation kit does a much better job of relieving that stress and also forces the decklid away from the roof edge upon opening, which was a particular interference problem for me.

Ted Mitchell also had a cantilever spring design that worked quite well I believe.
