This is the correct OEM-specification gas strut for Solera awnings equipped with short or flat arm assemblies. It restores smooth, controlled extension and retraction, delivering 124 lbs of consistent force through every open-close cycle. Whether your Solera awning is power-operated or manual, this strut fits both configurations -- no guesswork, no adapters required.
Gas struts are wear items. Over time the internal gas charge weakens, leading to an awning that feels heavy to extend, drops unevenly, or fails to stay in position. The Lippert 37-0318 replaces the original strut on short arm and flat arm Solera awning assemblies with a unit built to the same 124-lb force spec as the factory part.
Installation is DIY-friendly. The strut uses a standard eyelet mount at both ends -- no specialized tools, no drilling. Most owners complete the swap in under 30 minutes. The strut is manufactured in the USA and backed by Lippert's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Designed for both power and manual Solera awning arm assemblies with short or flat arm geometry. One part covers both drive types.
Delivers consistent 124 lbs of force for controlled, balanced extension and retraction -- matches the OEM specification for smooth operation.
Standard eyelet fittings at both ends allow straightforward removal of the old strut and installation of the new one with basic hand tools.
Manufactured domestically and sold under Lippert's limited 1-year warranty. Quality construction built to last through repeated seasonal cycling.
The 37-0318 fits Solera awnings with short arm or flat arm assemblies. If your awning arm has a pronounced curved or extended geometry (sometimes called a long arm or tall arm), this is not the correct strut -- Lippert offers a separate part number for those configurations.
Strut replacement is often overlooked until the awning becomes difficult to use. Watch for these signs:
