I used 80 lbs gas struts from McMaster.  My issue was that I mounted the canopy too far on the front side and I could not get the right opening angle (it opens only 45 degree).

 Hi Guys,  I have changed my Zenith canopy

 for a Todd’s version and have noticed the gas struts

 are a little weak due to the Todd’s increased

 weight.  Has anybody else noticed? If so

 did you change the gas struts?  Cheers  PeterWonthaggi

Glad to hear I am not the only one to do this.

I bought the 80 lbs struts and cut the off.  Works ok.

I went with 60# on the standard canopy.  McMaster.  Cut both arms shorter ( to avoid front edge of canopy touching front skin when open).

Works great!
