Gas struts CAN be reduced in pressure ....it's just a matter of releasing
the gas, re-sealing the unit ...then resetting to your spec's ....I do it
over here for a living ....I have a cousin in NZ that could possibly do it
for you i8f you get stuck !.....cheers ....Vikk

find some that are a bit tired. Yes I am cheap.
