Anyone done any mods so the hinged seat cushions close slower? The one behind the driver with the cooler always just get's dropped and it drives me crazy.

Thanks!

I think some folks have added gas struts for that. It's on my list to do, but always forget about it.

Yeah, I saw one post about gas struts but I wouldn't know what size to buy. Love a suggestion or even better a link if anyone has done this.

Thanks!
