[DML] my 2 cents on the door strut debate

["dmcgreece" <dmcgreece@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please allow me to preface my opinion by stating that I have found 
Rob Grady to be the most knowledgeable of any of the vendors and he 
is always willing to offer his advice.  DMCH has been helpful 
especially with the very hard to find items but those who I have 
spoken to have often misdagnosed the problem. However everyone who I 
have spoken to at DMCH has been very cordial. John Hervey will offer 
advice but at a cost as I still can't get over the fact that he 
charged me $12 and change for phone time after I purchased over $300 
worth of merchandise from him. No joke!!!   Delorean one has never 
been of any help whatsoever as they would not answer any questions 
over the phone or via email.  With that said I purchased the complete 
set of Grady struts ie: louver, hood, doors.  The door struts 
gradually weakened and were extremely sensitive to temperature. I 
replaced the door struts after a year with Grady struts and the same 
resulted.  I was about to tighten the torsion bars even further until 
I tried a 5 year old strut off a friends D.  The door shot right up 
and held firm.  I decided to try Hervey's after reading a test 
somewhere online.  What a huge difference.  The doors sprung up and 
extended fully and slowed toward the top with minimal bounce.  The 
struts seem to be affected very little by temperature extremes.  I 
think it is beneficial to everyone (including the vendors) to post 
forthright opinions as it's the best form of quality control. So far 
the Hervey struts have been on for a year and have remained 
consistent.
