ARANA Gas Struts 12 inch 20lb Gas Shocks Springs C16-10618 12" 89N Gas Props Lift Supports for Truck Toolbox Lid Weatherguard Tool Box Camper Shell Topper Window Canopy Cap C16-15053, 2Pcs

I used these to replace all my bay doors on my RV. Perfect fit and the 55LB was a little overkill but worked perfect and hope they last a long time. Easy installation by snapping in place.

Perfect fit. Easy install.

After 20 years, the front hatch strut on my boat stopped working. The OEM part was expensive, so I looked for a replacement that would work. This ARANA gas strut had the same open and closed dimensions, and the same load capability as the OEM gas strut. It assembled without any modification, and worked like the original. I can't vouch for how it would work in salt water/air environments, but as a lake boat replacement part, it works well.

Perfect fit, easy install and work great

The extended and collapsed lengths of this piston matched, but I was unsure the "universal" mount would work on the 8mm mounting studs on my cap, they did. Functioned well at instalation.

Very cheap work like a charm

Very good quality. Worked as expected.

The media could not be loaded. OK, I thought these would take some time to install. I was done installing both in about 2 minutes. Here’s a tip; Slide the retaining clips towards the rounded end. You don’t have to remove them. Put one end on ball, and the clip will slide into place. Repeat 3 times, and you’re done. I discovered this when removing the old ones. I have been using a board to hold the door open on my Leer camper shell for years because I thought I’d never find replacements, (1994 Toyota pickup, shell the same age), and it would be difficult. I was very wrong. These work great, and I spent 10 minutes opening and closing the door. They are great. These were slightly longer than my previous ones, but they were fine. So don’t let that scare you. These are rated 28 pounds, and they lift the door open with ease. Very easy and very happy.
