I started a thread last week and appreciate the information provided. While I liked the idea of putting a pool noodle on the garage door to protect the hatch from getting scratched on my garage door, I was looking for a different solution. I ordered from Amazon new 27" struts, and they worked...
Just got my California route 1 and looking for a solution to limit the opening height of the rear hatch. I really don't want to use a strap and was hoping someone has figured out a shorter strut to replace the original size. Any help in sizing is greatly appreciated.
