Wow - Snugtop didn't give you any dealer recommendations? I bought mine from Campway, but unfortunately they're only in Norcal. This may be a warranty item, but if you'd consider options, any chance OTC struts of similar length would work?

You could try a regular parts store, they usually carry shocks for hatchbacks, I dunno if you will find what your looking for but worth a shot...

they make electric one's and pnuematic ones, electric one's are probably easier to come by since alot of SUVs use them on the automatic rear lift gates, would probably need to fab them up a little but they should work.
