I'm waiting for 20 of these to show up Friday... As I was moving things from my old trailer to the "new" coach, the exterior doors/panels kept falling down on my head and back....
There were some really cheap looking ones with Blue labels on them and then there was one set of the ones below, they were really strong and kept the panel up quite well.

Re: Gas Strut replacements for cargo doors/panels
John,
In a pinch, until the new ones come in, you can lock a vise-grip on one of the rods, to keep the door from closing on you. Just don't forget to remove the vise-grip before instinctively shutting the bin door.

I recently replaced most of mine as I had the same issue. Happy to report its worth every penny. Got mine on Amazon as well.
Happy trails.

Re: Gas Strut replacements for cargo doors/panels
Almost all were 20", however I later found out there were 2 doors (4 struts) that were 16"
