It's interesting that two people have now been sent 60Nm versions and have them working fine, whereas a couple of other people have 80Nm versions and still have the guard drop occasionally. As presumably we are all fitting them to exactly the same type of dog guard in basically the same model of car, I wonder if perhaps the manufacturing tolerances of the struts are not particularly strict and basically it's just luck if each of us get good ones or bad ones? For the price, I'm certainly not complaining though. Almost two years after I fitted mine, my dog guard still hasn't dropped even once, so maybe if yours does it would be worth a gamble on buying another pair of struts and hoping for better luck the second time.
