The struts are basic automotive struts, I already found them at Pepboys, If
 I recall they are for Lincoln Bonnets or hood to us Yanks. They should las
t many years but are easily found to replace. About $30 a strut.

Subject: RV-10 door gas strut longevity 


If these struts lose gas when stored compressed, what does one do when the 
plane is parked in an unsecured area or when it is flying?=C2- I have a p
air of these (same manufacturer-different model) on the hood of my car. The
 car is a 1984 and they are original and they still work just fine. Lets ho
pe the RV-10 door struts are of equal or better quality.

      I was told that (when compressed)the gas can leak out leaving you to
