You must have read between the lines then. What I saw was "I thought I was going to have to replace mine this past winter, turns out that they are fine"

Didn't see where he said he replaced them.

My post #11 referred to in2pro's post #8 not #9 by PacaG. I know that PacaG replaced his.

These 2 videos above are for the window strut replacements... Are the rear door strut replacements the same process?
