Do you have a picture of you're roof? I have a similar style devon roof and I bought mine from sgs engineering.

Hi , I got my struts from sgs engineering too for my Devon. My van is still over wintering so can't take a photo, but sgs should be able to help. Good luck! Julia

Post a pic of your roof elevated. From your earlier description it sounded like full length but not hinged, ie it is supposed to rise in parallel to the van.

Struts at the side or ends?

Soft or hard sides?

There are a few variations and of course some have been modified.
