That is legit man! Im definitely going to try that. Have you done so yet ?

No I haven't. I have had a bunch of other stuff going on and this seemed to fall to the bottom of the list. I also thought about it a little more. Maybe just one piston per window that way you can still set the opening height with the other side.
 
Let us know how it works out. The front window is my only complaint about the parker. I've replaced the slides and knobs over and over again. Even new they will not hold the window up in waves.
 
Couldnt wait any longer so I made them work.. works great with the right combination and easy to do.

I ordered some stronger arms. Right now I have 20# and going to try 30# when I get it perfect I'll give a breakdown of exact parts list. It's not hard but I had to buy 4 times the things I needed to test them. I should have the right parts in a couple days and I'll attach where I got them and a pic. These window arms have been the only thing I havnt liked about the boat. They never hold the window open when I hit a wave. These arms will fix it. I only put them on one side of the window and used the side of each window that is close to center as it is straight and the other side is at a angle.
 
Ok got all the parts in and works great . Note your arms maybe longer or shorter than mine .. mine closed the arm itself is around 10"
But what I did was I ordered from Ebay ss gas shock 17" 30lb got 2 of them and on ebay there is a guy in summerville sc that sells a 10mm ball offset for shocks. Got 2 of them. They bolted perfectly. For the bottom bracket I got from same guy as the shocks a flat 10mm ball mount ss and just had to drill one small hole to line up with factory holes. I was able to use all the same screws as before. Seems to work good.
Shock part number is np-ss-1720-30
Flat bracket didnt have a part number but I have pics of all the listings.

These hold the window up better than two struts that come on each window? What about different hold heights?

Seems to hold it up good .. I got a 30lb strut on it. You can always try a 50 or 60lb if needed. But I only out 1 strut on each side so you can use the factory arm from diamond seaglaze to lock it in at diffrent levels. But for me if the window is open i want it all the way open.
