Pinto Car Club of America

Just courious as to what the general concensus is here on wether or not you change the entire lift rod support assembly or do you have those inexpensive clip on things that jc whitney sells? If you have replaced your supports what is the average life span of them, and what kind of hatch do you have?  Has anyone ever weighed a full glass versus the partial glass to determine the weight difference?  Joel, please no references to the glass being half full or half empty!
