Before I cough up the nearly $100 for new ones...anyone parting out or have available any rear window hydraulic hatch supports for an 84-96 which should fit my 87. Obviously the newer the better. Also looking for a mint condition center rear deck lid cover...where the rear window closes down into for my 87.
 
The hatch struts sold by NAPA, Autozone, and many other auto retailers are all made by the same company Arvin-Meritor. I tracked them down via web search of manufacturer data sheets which are required due to the high pressure gas used in them. Then I confirmed it with a call to the plant. Just order a set from AutoZone for about $30.xx or NAPA for $35.xx each.

If you want to go cheap, I have a set on my 88 that I'm replacing next week which I'll sell you. They quite work well except for sticking a bit when the hatch is first released. They don't always stick. When they do, I lift a tiny bit past the sticking point and up goes the hatch with no problem. Email me if you are interested.
