Vepagoo 42-Inch 60-Pound Gas Struts for Truck Tonneau Covers, 2-Pack

Pack: Vepagoo gas struts are listed as a 42-inch, 60-pound-force pair for truck tonneau covers and other heavy lids. The stated length and force are useful starting points for replacement selection, but customers report mixed experiences with size, strength and durability, so match the measurements and lid requirements before buying.

At a glance

The listing's selection guide says strut length should be about one-half to two-thirds of the lid length and gives an approximate pressure-to-lid-weight rule. This is seller guidance, not a fit guarantee.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing details are inconsistent about the kit: the explicit included-components field lists gas struts, while a separate highlight mentions 13mm ball studs without confirming them in the contents list. Check the selected listing to confirm whether ball studs or other mounting pieces are included. Customer feedback also varies on durability, strength, closing effort and received size, so confirm compatibility and allow for mixed reported experiences.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Buyers replacing supports on a truck tonneau cover or another lid who can verify that 42-inch extended length, 23-inch compressed length and the listed force suit their setup.
People seeking a pair of gas struts for a heavy lid and comparing dimensions with their existing supports.

Less suited to

Buyers who need confirmed vehicle-specific fitment, since no vehicle make, model or year compatibility is supplied.

Customer feedback highlights easy installation, fit and use as an OEM replacement, while reports are mixed on strength, durability, closing effort and size. Some customers describe strong performance, while others report insufficient strength or short life, and some say they received the wrong size. For a pair listed at 42 inches and 60 pounds, these comments make careful measurement and matching the lid's requirements especially important. Aggregate ratings are broadly positive, but they do not resolve the reported variation.

Positive themes

Some customers describe the struts as useful OEM replacements and consider them good value.

Mixed feedback

Feedback differs on sturdiness and durability, including reports of insufficient strength and short service life.
Customers differ on how easily the lid closes and whether the received size matches expectations.

Frequently asked questions

What are the listed dimensions and force?

The listing gives a 42-inch extended length, a 23-inch compressed length and an operating force of 60 pounds.

What should I compare before ordering?

Compare the extended and compressed lengths and the force with your existing supports and lid requirements. The listing also suggests strut length around one-half to two-thirds of lid length, but that guidance does not establish fit for a specific vehicle.

Are ball studs included?

The listing names gas struts in its explicit contents field, but separately mentions 13mm ball studs without confirming them in that list. Check the selected listing to confirm the mounting components.
