Re: Long Term Storage

["Richard" <dmc_driver@xxxx>]

There have been a lot of good replies to this thread. I would like to
add to it something I just thought of. If the car is to be stored for
a very long time, wouldn't it be a good idea to remove all the gas
struts from the doors, hood, and rear louvres? Then keep them in a
warm dry place, in the extended position? My reasoning is that when
the doors, hood, etc. are closed, the struts are in the compressed
position and therefore under more pressure. I would think that after a
year or two like this, the gas inside them would be prone to leaking
and when the car is brought out of storage, none of them will work
anymore. Ok, maybe its a stupid idea, but I had to add my two cents
worth. :-)
