I recently rescued a 80 924 from sitting for 6 years and the owner was useing it as a wood bin for his wood stove. I would just like to say this board is absolutly PRICELESS! You guys are the best! I didn't know exactly what I was getting into but the car is running great and it's acually my every day driver now, thanks to this board.

I do have a question I didn't find here, like many others I'm sure, I found a cheap 944 rear hatch (with a spoiler) on craigslist. My hatch struts didn't hold up the glass when it didn't have a spoiler on it and surely don't with a spoiler. What car do I order struts for? 924 or 944? Are the 944 mounting points for the struts the same?[/img]

Get the 944 struts they are stronger, the mounting points are the same.

Thanks, I figured they would be stronger but wasn't sure if the mounting was the same.

The 924 hatches are older and weaker, sometimes with the 944 struts the glass and metal frame start separating but since you already have a 944 unit you should be ok. Welcome to the board.
