Hey there - having trouble finding rear window struts for an ‘83 Cutlass Cruiser. Can anyone confirm they’re the same part as the ones on a Malibu of the same year?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the tip, I’ll report back later on today.Be carefull and take your time with the attaching point on the glass frame. I've seen a number of these in the junk yards missing. The spot weld rust and break off the metal surrounding the glass.
You're right about that , Mark.They don't last long. I think I have changed them out about six times already. I used the "Strong Arm" brand.
That's all I use Jack and they fail regularly. I just changed them [again] and this summer I have taken to leaving the rear glass in the UP position so the tubes don't suffer from the heat in the DOWN position. I don't know why but the front hood struts on my other cars don't fail nearly as often. They live in a totally worse environment too.The Strong Arm brand are probably the best
