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

panteradougMember

The aftermarket struts have the reputation of only lasting a year or so.

I remember getting a set from Hall Pantera and the first thing that happened was that the hinges in the decklid pulled right out.

The real solution would be to install power lifts that only put pressure on the decklid while it is open, to hold it open.

The issue is that there are few power lift solutions available.

Pantera-Electronics had built a set using an air compressor but does not market them.

There are self powered cylinders that will fit and work but they are sensitive to heat and because of the proximity to the exhaust in the Pantera will fail quickly if not out and out melt?

Wilkinson exchange deal might be the best compromise and ask him if he has them for the wing. The only thing with that is the hinge issue. Those things are only LOOSELY brazed into place.
