I ordered mine from amazon on Saturday. They were on my doorstep on Tuesday. $29 for the pair and they actually lift the hatch on their own!

I got some off Ebay. One by itself would raise the door so they seem pretty good. Nice find on Amazon. That's about what I paid.

I did also. If we don't stop using these online places all the time we will lose all of our brick and mortar stores and all Chinese parts like so many things.

$5 off when you buy a pair. They. Are. Freaking. Awesome.

Those are what I bought. Really flings that gate up.
