The struts cost me about $15 and 10 minutes of time to replace.
Extension deadline (nationally) is May 17th, then Texas is June 15th, so I'll have time to do it this or next month sometime. I am not used to 6-7 day weeks for 5-6 months straight like this... even my doc said to slow down. I can handle Jan-mid April, but not mid-June at the same pace.

Did the front lid and rear lid struts on my 12 991.1, seems like a common part that goes bad after a few years. I bought the stabilus ones.
