Rear hatch struts

Need a new set as mine don't like to fully extend anymore. Is there a brand I should look for or stay away from?TIA

IDK but I did learn that some of the Fleabay listings etc. will sell you a strut that "fits" but is a little shorter than the original. I'm tall so I took a hard look to see if I could go a little longer. My conclusion was, no. So just make sure you get the exact correct length.

I only needed one and got it at a boneyard. That's probably your problem, one works, one doesn't.

It’s really a matter of economics, I purchased a set of Ultrapower on sale , they work just as well as the AC Delco at much less of the price
