I was having very bad luck with door struts until John and I put a set of his struts on my car while at Pigeon Forge. This last weekend in 20 degree weather I noticed they may be getting weak (but still hold the door open). About the best service I've ever had from a set of DeLorean door struts. I'll be seeing how the new ones hold up I guess. Harold McElraft - 3354 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Farrar Hudkins <fhudkins@...> wrote: > > Thanks, John.
