Exclamation Aftermarket Rear struts??? Read this first....
Hi Folks, So my 03 Z loves to bash my head every now and then so I decided to install a new set. I purchased some aftermarket ones to save money. After installing the new ones the hatch works like new..... WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! After looking at my closed hatch I see a dent on each side. The darn screws were too long by just a little bit and when I screwed them in they pushed a nice dent on each side of my hatch. So be careful and check those screws before ya get screwed!!!!!
