A lot has been said about gas strut mounting, and I'm sure it's mostly true,
at least for the struts described. I mounted my "Life-o-mat" struts "upside

they are as smooth as I could ever hope for, and I've had zero

And since you mentioned the marine spring hatch holder. Here is the first
one ever used on a KR. If
I found two low pressure gas struts on a pickup truck fiberglass canopy rear
hatch lid. They work perfect and only cost me $5.00 (U.S.) plus the
ball joints ($5.00) from the local auto parts store.
Mike Stafford,s KR2 is 85% and almost making real airplane noises.
Another thing to look at is a hatch holder from a boat place. It is basically a
spring rather than strut. Bend the spring and the canopy comes down.

After trying several struts from AutoZone, wrong length, wrong pressure,
I spotted the struts on my pickup truck topper setting in the drive. They
are use to lift / hold the back glass door. Result: perfect length and
perfect pressure.

Apparenty you can increase the pressure but most struts you cannot reduce the
pressure. With the struts that you can reduce the presure there is a valve in
one end but
