Re: [DML] Door Strut Debate and use of real names

["sgskbm" <SGSKBM@xxxxxxx>]

I posted twice concerning struts and I have no reason not to give my 
name.  My name is Scot Stern, I own 6452.  The car has approximately 
12,200 miles on it and I bought my last set of struts from P.J. 
Grady.  

I need new ones now as they only open about half way and before, they 
did go all the way up.  Rob explained, in one of his posts, that he 
now has a new vendor and that makes me feel better. I would see no 
point in buying the same struts as my originals and expecting any 
other conclusion than what I have experienced now.

Personally, I think that the discussion is less than valid as it 
would appear that each car has different variables based upon 
adjustments of the torsion bars and the actual weight of the door.  

In addition, I am also willing to bet that no two struts, even form 
the same batch, perform the same and, therefore, it would appear that 
all of them are a crap shoot.

The temperature controlled units seem interesting but I really don't 
have extreme temperature variances in San Diego.  I tried to call one 
vendor, during normal business hours, and all I got was an answering 
machine and a message that said they would try to call me back within 
a day or two.  If it is that difficult to buy then how would I obtain 
service information if I had a problem?

All in all, most of the vendors offer good products and even better 
advice.  It will boil down to a matter of convenience and price as no 
one seems to have a clear-cut advantage.  

I am not ashamed to use my name and I was certainly not trying to 
hide in any way.  My direct email address is scotstern@xxxxxxxx  
Simple and open??the way I would like my doors to operate.
