Default Convertible Tonneau Lifts, Support Struts?

Hello all, would there be a dimension or length for these lift struts? Or maybe a part number that I could use at a Napa store? There are so many listings on line, but, they all seem to be non USA parts. Thank you for any input. Dom

Hi Thomas, that would be too easy! I did consider that, but, I'm not as flexible as I used to be. Looking at the project makes me think I'd have to crawl in there. If so, I wouldn't want to do that more than once. I guess I could reach under for the front one, snap it off and lever it towards the back? Would that cause the rear to should snap off its mount?

Hi Dom, Struts snap on and off fairly easy, do it once and see. you can take it to your favorite person it would take a few minutes to change, parts in hand. you might check youtube they are a big help sometimes
