I got some for my 2018. They work well, I'd forgotten they weren't stock.
I put them in using existing holes.
Thanks, mine are coming Sunday. I think these are well worth 25 bucks.

Added 5 psi per tire in a matter of seconds yesterday. Set your psi and it automatically shuts off when reached. Stays planted and does not hop around. No cords to deal with. I also used it to inflate a yoga fitness ball.
Not a must have but is sure nice to have

Got 'em yesterday, haven't put them on yet. I am satisfied with the quality.
thanks for the video....... looks simple enough and seems to work ...
I wonder when those bottom nuts start getting loose, it might be good to
have a way to tighten them again before you snap or pull them off that tool...
I might just try it ..........
I'm going to order a set, and plan on using https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned). You can get it at auto stores or home improvement stores, maybe even at Walmart.
Not sure if you're familiar with the product. Loctite is a "glue" for threaded parts. It comes in different strengths.
Loctite Red is permanent. Often used for internal engine parts that will never be disassembled.
Loctite Blue can be undone with moderate force, and it stops threaded parts from vibrating apart.
Loctite Blue is what I use when I don't want threaded screws to back out, but want to be able to take them apart later. Others here might have better suggestions.
Watched a youtube vid on changing brake rotors/pads. Dude used loctite blue for the caliper bolts.
A good lube to have around is Silicone grease. Got a tube at Napa called Sil-Glide or something like that. Used to lube the brake sliding pins. I use lithium grease (with red spray straw) for door hinges at home/car, ect. 2 good lubes to have around not named KY LOL
I keep a chart of recommended lubes on my laptop.
It gets confusing knowing which ones are for what application. Some applications don't mind dirt sticking to it.
Regarding KY, that conversation belongs in the Dealership Experience threads.
And those are the nice dealers...they don't all use it.
So, you can't just jack it up from the frame rail like all other modern vehicles?
so doesn't anyone know if a regular sized tire fits into the spare compartment
and also be able to close the spare top cover ???
Found this installation video.
I just did this, used blue Loctite as suggested by @Avoidin Deer. The struts are difficult to compress/extend. I did one side, and exercised the strut, disconnected and did the same for the other side.
Great deal for $25.
I placed an Amazon order last night...orbital polisher, pads, clay bar, lube, and these struts.
This is like when I bought my '59 Austin Healey many years ago.
My first J.C. Whitney order was more than I paid for the car! (But that included a new rag top).
I may switch the sides on where it attaches to the hood for a little more clearance.
