Hello,
The shocks on my rear window no longer hold the glass up. Anyone know where I can get replacements?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks, so the Micra part is the same as the Pao?

It doesn't appear the Pao rear window struts are available anywhere. It looks like I'll have to order some generic struts, drill out the brackets and reattach them to the new struts. Has anyone done this? What kind of hardware did you use to reattach the brackets?
sorry.Mark, I have the same issue and am looking around. I have the ability to do some fabrication work if needed. Let me know if you've found a solution and I'll do the same if I've come up with anything. I may be able to modify the bracket that bolts into the car and attach a more modern shock I can get at the auto parts store.

I sent mine to LS Technologies in Saskatoon, Canada. They attached new struts to my existing brackets. They look almost identical to the originals. They were $40 each + shipping. The pic below shows the original shock on the bottom and a rebuilt one on top. This was a really worthwhile thing to have done. When removing the strut from the window, don't try to pull the ball socket off. Remove the hex bolt.
