My air struts for my rear deck lid no longer support the lid and wing. I assume when the deck was added they increased the strut strength to account for the wing. Can someone tell me the correct part number (Porsche or otherwise) for struts for Aerokit deck lids? I could just go by the part number on the current struts but I want to make sure I replace them with ones that will support the deck/wing.

Thanks Nick. Just found your reply. This will give me 2 hands to load/unload items from my rear trunk.

Your struts are probably worn. Mine still holds up the trunk after I added the Aerokit spoiler but hardly. I intend to change them out soon. My front was dropping on occasions and I'm surprised what a difference a new pair of struts make...
