I purchased a set off eBay. A year later the tailgate was dropping again. From new they had way too much pressure - had to warn the kids not to open it or stand close when an adult opened it (wife refused to open it again after her first try. It was not regulated and would slam open - Was also difficult for her to shut. Had my old ones re-gassed - the guy assured me that the original 'German' ones are far superior and that I could expect another 10 years from them. 6 months on and they are exactly like new originals and open with a smooth steady action from 'click' to fully open (no hands) - wouldn't dare try that with the ebay ones!
