Need help: hatch struts defrost

Hey everyone i just purchased an 84 Z28 and am hoping to save it as it has a great running engine but has taken a beating visually from previous owners. Sort of a rolling restoration. The rear hatch has a defrost wired through the struts.... and thestruts are shot. i guess my question is where would i find the cheapest struts and do i need a special type b/c of the defroster?! if you guys have any special discount part sites or reccomendations i would love to hear. thanks!

Welcome to TGO, Gsyslo. Any auto parts store (Autozone, Advance, Napa, etc.) should have what you need in stock. Explore their websites for the best price.
