Question Convertible Trunk Struts

Does anyone know of an aftermarket source for these? Black Dragon dosn't list them. Not sure if Mazda still lists them, but they will likely be a fortune if they did.

The thread talks about Arm Strong struts, they are actually are Strong Arm #4524, which interchanges to a Monroe #901389. They are 95-99 Maxima Hood Struts.

I've got one coming tomorrow for our S5 Vert, let you know how it goes

Looks like I called them Strong Arms in all but one of the post. There is a picture of it so that is pretty idiot proof.

Post that info about the cross reference on the original thread and then vote it a 5 for archiving. Because he should have searched first if he did not find his problem in the Archive.

PS. I like Strong Arm because I think they probally made in South Carolina and not China.
