Charles I have PFS struts on my C900 Aero. They were getting tired and than I went and fitted a whale tail. Well I didn't, Aeromotive did. That was it, they refused to work at all, so I got the PFS ones about half the price of genuine Saab. The weight of the whale tail means they don't lift the hatch so much as hold it in position, but it no longer closes like Madame guillotine!! Al
