Wishing you a speedy recovery T!

As for the retrofit....those parts look like they have some good thought put behind them. You may run into trouble with concealing them however. The factory hatch struts (if memory serves me right) are maybe 15-20mm in diameter. I'm not sure you could get those actuators (which are listed as 33mm diameter) to tuck without some "convincing". I don't think it would be that hard of a retrofit, but certainly wouldn't be a simple bolt-up procedure. It definitely be a nice feature to have for the mobility challenged (or us lazy people) but would likely end up being one of those more-work-than-it's-worth mods.
