[DeTomaso] Deck-lid Striker Plate

[Rob DuMoulin]

Jack, I use Dodge Omni struts from O'Reiley Auto Parts.  They are special
order though and take about a week for me but they are lifetime warranty.
I just found that out after buying my 3rd pair, so I know to keep the
receipt now.  They seem to last about two years in Florida.
