question on a 245 limited
I need new rear hatch struts to hold my hatch up, mine have the tag wore off to see pound rating, I think they are 50lb rating, I tried 40's and they are not strong enough, 60's are too strong, I cannot find a 50 lb strut.
Can anyone see what brand and part number they have for me?

I have Attwood SS33-40-5 on mine. They are 40# and are stainless. I believe that the SL33-40-5 would be the non stainless version. Even with the increased thickness (5/8" vs. 1/2") of the plywood and extra 1" K-Flex foam top when I recovered the sunpad they hold fine. You might check the Attwood site:

Also, anyone know where to get replacement switches that match factory? I don't want to change them all, I need a blower switch and I have to rebuild my trim switch every few weeks.

Good luck with that. I have seen solid black replacement switches but not OEM mathing ones. If it were mine I would try to swap the internals with the wiper switch. That way it would still have the correct switch designation. Exactly why there is a wiper switch I don't know. 
If you need more than 1 maybe swap it with the horn and add a 1" push switch under the dash for the horn.
