I'm putting my 82 924NA back on the road soon and I promised it some work!

I need to give it some new rear window struts and I'd like some advice about replacements.

Are the electrical connections transferable to an open market replacement strut? or What is a good source of an exact replacement?

I probably don't need the defogger since I don't drive it in winter anymore but it probably won't cost much more for an OEM replacement. - Thanks Peter

Thanks for the links!

Both have the rt/lft struts with electrical connections. AutoHaus has Stabilus-Borg for around $30per and RockAuto has Sachs for around $80 apiece. So I guess I'll go with the more "economical" unless I hear comments recommending otherwise.
