I'd like to correct this bit of misinformation that has been going around.
The new door struts sold by DMC (Texas) are NOT the incorrect length. Our new struts ($39.95 each) have been remanufactured exclusively for us to the original specification, from the original drawings. The only differences at this point are the black nitride finish on the shafts, and the ends are "screw-on" rather than crimped on.
