Jim, I have the same problem. Be careful if you buy online, as I did, and
then got the struts for the sedan trunk and not the avant (forget which
online parts house sent 'em to me). Regardless, I'm going to be checking to
see if Imported Auto Parts in Boulder can get me some today. I'll let you
know and if so, I can get an extra set and pass them along to you the next
time I'm up in Vail.

Cheers,
