Actually, Mazdatrix sells the Strong Arm 4709's...
I wrapped mine with black wire loom, here's a pic...
I know you don't like Mazdatrix, Manntis, but if you wear sunglasses they probably won't know it's you sneaking in on their site to order parts
And just so we don't forget the original reason for this thread...
faye x7, didju ever get yours off?
It might sound fussy, but I'd hate to use electrical tape (not wanting to heat the strut - a pressurized device - by attempting to heat-shrink a new sock over the wiring). Once it ages electrical tape becomes brittle, saggy, and ugly.

Excuse me for being stupid, but how do you get those damn things off?

So will these 'Strong Arm 4709s' hold up hatch glass with wiper and aluminum louvers? Mine are shot but I've hesitated in replacing them because of not knowing if they'd work with all that added weight.

It's not that I don't like Mazdatrix, zookeeper, I don't like their website. I find it hard to locate parts and their prices, then a pic of the price, then ordering info...
it's laid out with hard to read text on ugly backgrounds as though it were someone's homepage whipped up with Netscape Composer or something.

And, Manntis, I know what you mean about the Mazdatrix web site. Their "search" feature particularly sux. But I've had very good support from them before and they even helped me locate some parts they didn't have by going thru their links to Mazda and telling me which dealers in the country still had the item (actually it was a hood) in stock. And gave me the phone numbers. That's "above and beyond" in my book

hey now, my site is new school but no flash or other distracting,blinking effects. It's all php and (hopefully) easy to navigate.
I built mine after looking at all the things I don't like about other sites, then did the opposite. Of course, I'm self taught so my php and sql skills aren't as fancy as some others, but I try to keep it good looking yet straightforward. IMHO the mazdatrix site is neither, and I've not been able to find a thing browsing it.

Advance Auto
If that link doesn't work for some reason goto
http://www.advanceautoparts.com. Click "shop online", do a search for "Strong Arm", click "Lift Supports", enter vehicle info. It worked for "1984 Mazda RX-7 1.3L" anyway.
shoot.. i wanted to get two.. but theres no advance auto here.. they're all on the east coast.. and i wanted to get them online.. BUT i got this: We could not get availability information for your part(s).
Please try again later or call customer service at (877)808-0698 for assistance.
