Re: [DML] Door strut debacle

["Rustproof" <Rustproof@xxxx>]

I purchased a set of DMC struts that did in fact bend the strut mount. (as
well as some cracks in the fiberglass) I assumed that the difficulty was due
to out-of-tolerance positioning of the mounts from the factory. Ultimately,
I lathe-cut one ball socket on each strut to compensate for the extra
length. I went looking through my pile of old parts for the original struts
this week to compare lengths...sure enough, the originals are shorter! I
wish I had noticed or was informed before they went in!
