    Changing deck lid shocks is easier than changing oil....AND you don't have to lay on the ground OR get oil on your hands

                Yours will ship today. Remember, struts always install piston down. Theres oil in them to keep the seals from drying out

                    Finally got them installed today.

                    Quick tip for all, I was wondering for the longest time why the pin wouldn't go in. You might not have it seated on the ball joint all the way!

                    Also having a magnetic extension/grappler thing saved me an enormous amount of time when I was fighting with the locking pin... And also because I kept dropping the other parts.

                    Satisfied with the mod! All is easy and well again.

                    Thanks Jeff!

                        Thanks for the feedback. I found a magnet kept lifting the pin out of the ball socket before I good secure it but def had one handy for every time it fell out lol. Thendab of grease in the pin hole really helped me

                        That would be helpful.

                        At the Vintage we put notes on all the cabrio windshields asking if the owner knew he even had struts in the soft top. It was funny how many guys came to the booth with a puzzled look on their faces lol

                          I bought some of the deck lid shocks from Jeff at the Vintage. Finally got around to installing this afternoon - what an amazing difference! Thanks Jeff!

                                Im intrested in a set of both...My wifes' car's lid keeps falling and I didn't know there were shocks for the top...my wife would love to be able to open and closed the top easier.

                                Does anyone have a picture of where these things go? I see the ones in the deck lid, 2 sort of in the middle on each side. Where do the folding top struts go?
