I changed all of my air hoses over from the compression fittings and
standard hose to bayonet fittings and a rubber "type" hose. I don't
remember exactly what hose it was......but my doors no longer leak. Left my
car for a week vacation, cam back and the doors went up easily. This works
really well. I cut them over 2 years ago and have had little trouble. If
anyone would like info on this let me know, I got the part#'s and where to
get them written at home.
