They fail after time and are easily replaced, by removing one, and matching it at an automotive store. If both of yours are missing, the only "catch" is, you must know the size --and sorry, I don't.  BTW, they are pictured in the cabinet parts book. One other thing--when mounting replacements, be sure to mount them with the cylinder up, when the door is closed, if possible, as they will last longer.  Ron Rich

What I've done in the case of bad gas springs like that is to get a 
piece of PVC sprinkler pipe that slips easily over the cylinder.  Cut it 
to the right length to hold the lid up when slid down over the rod 
portion.  Slip it over the rod and reassemble everything.  To lower the 
lid, just slide the cylinder end into the pipe.
