Has anybody installed hood struts on a 2020 CX-5? If so, where did you get them?

Same here.The High Flying brand on Amazon were perfect for my 2019,Easy install,i used blue loctite on lower mount nuts.30k plus car and Mazda can’t include $10 Struts!
The easiest guess.. the seller started selling struts in 2018, didn't bother actually doing any research for the previous year and the parts compatibility reflects that.Why do these companies list their struts as working for 2018, 19, 20 and not 2017?
Same car.
How much do you expect from companies, that rather pay an American copy writer, uses language like "constructed securely materials will make strong product and use easily" - okay I'm exaggerating, but not by muchWhy do these companies list their struts as working for 2018, 19, 20 and not 2017?
Same car.
Yep, despite the crazy heavy hood on our 2014, it still had some shaking issues. Part of that was a TSB about the sealant between the hood skin and frame separating, and an updated cowl seal. I installed the updated seal and stuffed some foam backer rod in between the hood frames and skin, which seemed to help.Heavy hoods are done to reduce the tendency for the hood to aerodynamically resonate and "flutter" at high speeds. Didn't the early CX-5s suffer from this?
