I bought my replacements at a chandlery in Martinique
Also sometimes they become stuck in a closed position without losing all their oil if this is the case soak them overnight in Coca-Cola and then hit them with a hammer they should spring back open

I have spent a good bit of time trying to find replacements. The best solution for me has been ordering from Amel.

ref AM54 : 

Hi all Amaliens, the oil-pressure-struts  which open the cocpit windows have lost their oil.

Can anybody help me with advice :

can they be refurbished and refilled, and can i do this myself ?

if i need to order them for replacement,   what would be the length, stroke, and pressure?
