I just got my heavy duty struts from Vans. Is there a trick to getting them to move. Mine are extended and don’t seem to want to compress for installation.Alan

You should just be able to open the door a little more after removing the old one to bolt it in place. Shouldn't need to compress it, IIRC.

You can’t move them by hand. They’ll compress once you install them in the door.

I got tired of pushing the door up to get it to open all the way, so I bought the heavy duty ones from Van. It's been a little over a year, and they are beginning to require a push to get them up, again....

That's just how tough they are. I replaced my original ones with the heavy duty ones and was impressed by the difference. Just push really hard and they will move.

Bruce,
Not exactly right... I was referring to their strength, once installed.
My heavy duty ones are getting weaker....
