  • How Can I Determine Which Gas Strut I Have?
  • The weight rating on your gas strut # 372-5300-20 would normally be printed in LBS or NM somewhere on the strut however since your strut's labels have worn off then your best bet is to measure for a new one. In general, the length to choose for gas struts is about 55% of the height of the hatch or door you are trying to keep open. So, if you have a door that is 1000mm (39") in height a 550mm (19.7") long gas strut would be about right. Basically, you'd take half the door height plus a...

  • Replacement Gas Strut for 654150 0550N 091/16
  • I have a solution for you but we do not carry an exact replacement for the 654150 0550N 091/16 strut . The strut we carry that is almost the same is the Solera Gas Strut for Short and Flat Awning Arms item # LC280343 that you were looking at. The Solera Gas Strut strut is 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted. It exerts 124 lbs of force and has the same pair of metal ends. You will just need to ensure yours is the same length when it is retracted.

  • Can Roadmaster Tow Defender Gas Strut Be Used for Older Blue Ox KarGard II

  • How To Extended A Gas Strut That Is Stuck Closed
  • I went out to our warehouse to see if all of our Taylor Made Marine Gas Strut for Boat Hatches # 3691837 were compressed like you mention yours is, and they are not. My thoughts are you may have a faulty strut, these struts should be extended and require 40lbs of force to compress. In some cases you may be able to twist the shaft of strut counter clockwise and that may release the strut if it is stuck closed.

  • The Solera Gas Strut, 124 to 144 lbs for Pitched Awning Arms # LC260282 is likely exactly what you need. To compress it to fit the holes, I recommend attaching one end of the strut and that will allow you the leverage to start to compress the strut so it can fit the other attachment location.
