Default Hatch Struts???

Im getting ready to order some new hatch struts, and have a question. Are they all the same for my year car? Meaning do they all have the connections for the rear defogger? Ive looked at the manual amd at the struts themselves and they appear to be one piece. Does anyone know? Thanks for the help.

I just installed new ones on my '84. Bought them from Corvette Central.
Simple replacement. No problems. They are one piece.
Good Luck

Get the struts from Advance Auto or one of the local parts shops. Mine were $24.99 each vs $39.99 each from MAD or Ecklers. They have the defogger connections just like your old ones. Good luck. :thumbs:
