MB Trunk lid struts
I need a pair of trunk lid struts for an 88 vert. Where can I buy a pair? Or can they be re-pressurised?
Thanks

So I joined the forum over 10 years ago back when I was a young... extra motivated Navy Midshipman in college. I was fighting what turned out to be blown coolant seals thanks to the help from Aaron/Mark and others... maybe even yourself. EDIT: maybe not... this was a good couple years befor you joined.

Anyway, I was so proud of my ROTCness that I made it part of my screen name. The abbreviation for Midshipman is MIDN.

I'm now active... and no longer a Midshipman. I'm a full fledged Lieutenant... thus my name on the other forum is ElTeeFauci (LT). Now I'm just another bitter naval officer

I know you meant well... sorry to come off as a dick. That was a little inappropriate.
