Ours also has the gas rod "prop". The door is 1" shorter than the frame and the gas prop fits "under the door in that space". Although there are some "gas props" that will fit on the outside of the door, there is little/no bracing in that area for the strut and they seem to "tear out at will" and often at the most inopportune times.....
So, for most, adapting to a gas strut means rebuilding or replacing the door to obtain the space to mount the strut.
