Or at least until the plywood gets wet and delaminates.

A $1.98 rubber door stopper works quite well. Windy days are not a problem.

You have to open the rear trunk sometime, and you can't always wait for a sunny day.

Hi. My dealer got me new heavy duty struts for my top box and seat on my 2020RTL from show chrome. They work great.
I don't have part numbers etc as junked packaging. Real easy installation instructions also. Cost was about $60.00 Canadian taxes incl.
2020 RTL - Petrol Blue Metalic / Black, dark model.
Colour match rear tail cover, Garmin GPS.
Heated Ultra Comfort driver seat & backrest.
LED headlamps, LED Front corner lamps and lower front LED lamp.
Baja Ron sway bar.
Ride Til You Rot!

It looks like Lamonster Garage carries both of the Show Chrome struts you mentioned.
The link to the Lamonster website is in the upper right corner of this web page.

On my 2014 RTS , I simply drilled a new mounting hole for the factory strut about 3/4" above the OEM mounting hole. Problem solved, cost Zero.
