Round, wooden pole/dowel from a closet. (the one you hang your clothes on)
Just trim/cut to fit.

A perfect application for an old/broken hockey stick!

I use a professional mechanics three piece sliding, locking adjustable prop rod. [This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 05-09-2022).]

Ah, I was hoping someone would say hockey stick! Being so close to Canada we have hockey sticks galore!

That sounds like something I would be interested in. Where did you get yours? My gas struts from Rodney Dickman just don't fit without some moving brackets around. The prop rod might be a solution until I can figure this gas strut business out.

Rodney Dickman gas strut.
If that ever starts to fail... replace it with another? lol
Or if I'm at a show in high wind conditions and worried about the wind pushing down the decklid enough to overcome the gas strut, I will likely look into something similar as to what Dennis posted. That looks like a neat bit of insurance.

I've had it for years.
Have you tried the auto parts store in your area?
