Trunk gas shocks

Mine seemed to both crap out with the temperature drop. Anyone replace these yet? Which aftermarket brand is good?

Second the SACHS brand, OEM supplier to Ford for a long time.  This is based on trying out many brands for the hatch lifts on the Edge.  Still want to try out the AMS product, and wish Redline Tuning would make 'em ...

When I changed them, one side was obviously blown. These snapped in perfect. Trunk can be opened with 1 finger now. Thanks guys!

Mine failed at like 20k miles!  Was still under warranty so Ford fixed them.

I replaced both on the hood of my wife's '14 SEL at only 18,000 miles, took it back to the dealer a couple of days after we bought it.  Replaced one on my trunk at about 45,000 miles.
