Will you be using gas struts to hold the lid up? I got my gas struts from the local NAPA store - they had a catalog that listed sizes and force ratings.

The hinges were always a part of the plan, as this was always about building a tool box/workshop, not an aero lid.
Yes, I will be using gas cylinders, after I get a better idea of the weight of the lid and solar panel. I am also going to build rigid struts to hold it at cap height for when I need to drive with it up.
