Good quality replacement
I bought these to replace the struts on the basement storage of my rv. They fit perfectly and do a good job of holding the doors up. The clips can be a little difficult to pry up but a small flat blade screwdriver does the job. One of the clips was especially difficult to pry up and I found out why when it snapped off. I contacted the seller directly on their email and they quickly sent 4 replacement heads. They have very good customer service.

Strong, reliable lift struts that work perfectly
These gas prop struts work exactly as described. They lift and hold weight smoothly with strong, consistent pressure. Installation was straightforward, and the 100 lb rating feels accurate for camper shells or storage lids in the 85–110 lb range. Durability & Reliability: Built solid with good pressure retention — no leaks or sagging so far. Ease of Setup & Use: Simple to install and operate, even without included brackets. Overall Quality & Value: Great quality for the price. A reliable replacement option that performs just as expected. Q&A Q: Do these struts hold their pressure well? A: Yes, they’ve maintained full lifting strength with no loss of pressure. Q: Were brackets included? A: No, these come without brackets, so be sure to have your own hardware ready. Q: Are they worth the price? A: Absolutely — strong, dependable, and easy to install.

Amazing value. Matches what is shown/described
I used these to replace the ones in my 2005 Scion XA rear door. Slightly too much force, but my door definitely opens up and stays open now. I just measured what my door pistons currently min and max at for length and picked these by estimating the force with leverage in mind. I was a little surprised they came with the ball ends and washers, but no nuts. Luckily I had 4 of the exact nut that was needed. Drilled out the doors riveted ones and put them in. They clip in the fittings very easily, but I wish the ends werent plastic as it seems just a little fragile while prying the clips. The customer service was great assuring me that they will warranty them for sure, and I guess it should be fine since the force is always a "push" against the metal piston parts and the clips only really stop a pulling off force. If it was an application where someone may attempt to overextend them I am not sure I would be comfortable with the plastic ends. If they are indeed only plastic inside then someone could easily push something too hard, break them, and now you have a scenario of something heavy falling on someone. Amazing for the money and have a slight feeling that they may be a little more than 100lbs of force. Almost took my whole body weight (160lbs) to compress one. (DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT TAKING OFF THE PLASTIC ENDS)

21inches fully extended, and very powerful 35 lbs.
You might have to tweak these a bit if they don’t match perfectly with your door, but once they snap in they work great!

Buy a different brand with smaller metal ends and stronger clips.
**Edit** The seller reached out to me after this review. I provided them pictures of what I was trying to replace. They responded by providing a product link to the correct ends I was needing. Fortunately, these ends screw on or off so all I had to do was remove the less than satisfactory ones and install the smaller, metal ones with actual retaining clips. I wish the proper struts with correct ends had shown up in my initial search result instead of having to make two separate purchases to make one product work, but that's more an issue with Amazon than the seller or product. Now that the correct ends are installed, the struts are working as intended and not slipping off the socket every time the doors are opened. I'm giving this review another star just for the customer service they provided me. --- I'm less than pleased with these struts. The clips are weak and pop out of place way too easily. The ends are made of plastic and screw into place. They're also much larger than those they're replacing which means they rub when opening or closing the door. In all, I'd recommend buying another brand which has smaller metal ends with adequate clips that won't pop free every time you open or close the door.

Easy to install, and high quality.
These struts worked perfectly in my Crownline 185 engine cover/sunpad. The strut sockets snapped firmly into the original ball hardware so the strut change took less than five minutes….. and no more engine hatch landing in my head when I’m checking the engine. Excellent quality as well.
