Seat Strut won't hold up seat - any non-OEM replacements?

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I know where you are coming from, Don. My strut worked just fine with my stock ‘21 seat, so I couldn’t remove the latch as it would lift when I dismounted. However, with the much heavier Daylong seat, the strut wouldn’t lift it, which is when I removed the latch.

Pete I've mentioned this a number of times ..... the LATCH has more then one purpose ..... besides as a seat LOCK it also positions the seat in relation to the tupperware and the rear hinge bolts ..... I just stuffed a small piece of construction foam into the latch to keep it open ..... good luck .... Mike
