I show in this video what I have found is a pretty easy and affective way to fix those gas filled struts that are used on some hoods, trunk lids , pickup topper shell doors and even some equipment. This isn’t as good as installing new ones but it’s a lot cheaper and will never wear out. I used a piece of pipe cut from an old generator carriage but I have used a piece of conduit on one I fixed before on a pickup topper lid. I think a piece of a bicycle handle bar would work , also in some cases a length of pvc water pipe would work. I hope this gives you an idea as how to make life easier so you can throw away the broom handle and put the vice grips back in the tool box, thanks for watching.
