I've got a leer 180, and the lift struts for the main rear window need to be replaced, they're completely shot. I was wanting to see if anyone had come across struts that could be stopped/locked before they're all the way extended. Sometimes, I have rain water or dew on the rear window and don't want to dump it down onto the bed/mattress when opening it. Being able to stop it before it goes past 90 degrees would be really convenient at times.

I'm looking for something like: https://camloc.com/products/blocklift/

Didn't know if anyone had experience with them or something similar.

Right now I have the "quick grip" struts.
