This is my 3rd Beak, and I have the same problem with all of them, and can't seem to fix it.
Is there a good spring lift / gas spring for holding up the hatch to get into the cabin ?
I replace them, and only get a year m/l out of them. I thought guys on this forum might know.
Thanks in advance.

The most common mistake we see is boating (like running on plane) with it open, this will shorten the life of the shock, every time you hit a wave its like you opened and closed it thus a cycle.
Hope this helps

OK, if you are only getting a year out of them, you are doing something wrong? Are you riding around with the hatch open?? Do you have kids playing with it? Do you have speakers on the top of the hatch? the shock absorbers should be lasting at least 3-4 years and thats with allot of opening and closing. The shock is like any other part, it is designed to work for X number of cycles, with X numer of weight, some how yours is going through more.
