does anyone know where to get a new set?

 

Discontinued. Search for a long time before I gave up. Even had the GM part number. Tried cross referencing it with no luck. Modified my hatch to use glass hatch ones.

 

really? wow,,was that difficult? have any pictures,,,i need something to hold this hatch up,,lol

 

anyone anyone???

 

I can only speak for the factory notchback and most wouldnt reshape the inside to clear some struts. But if you are still interested This is what I had to do to get the stock glass hatch struts to work on mine

i have an 88 gta notchbak and this looks interesting bud,because i wanted to be able to swap out to the glass hatch as well. like having both styles,and make it so that any day i wanted to swap i could,jus to change the look,,like putting the top down on a convertible. im curious though when i look at your pics,,it appears you had the glass hatch and fixed your car to allow for the oem notch hatch. on my gta there are 2 bolts on the body. 1 to attach the strut and another is like a guide,beacause the hatch has this hook style arm that goes on to it when in down position. i am also curious if you changed the way the strut attaches to the hatch. the notch hatch has a ball type stud

 

I tried to find a sphericle rod end for the strut ends but couldn't find with the correct ends. I ended up unscrewing the ball studs from the factory notchback. Then I removed the plastic insert from the strut end. I found the correct bolt to match the threads where the ball was. With the bolt and spacer attached the strut to the notch. I will try to post pics. Planning to make my own ends for it later. I have my glass hatch sitting there ready to go back on if I get bored with the notch.

 

i think i follow,,,pictures are always helpful...and thanks for all your help

 

anyone know where these might still be located?
