not to plagiarize a previous post I found this that may be helpful:

     I found the canopy gas springs or struts were not strong enough to 

hold the canopy up even in a light breeze.  I inquired as to the 

strength of the struts furnished in the kit and found them to be 40 

pounds.  I replaced them with a pair of 60 pounders and eliminated the 

problem of my canopy slamming down unexpected.

     I am sure some of you who are building or have built the ZodiacXL 

either have the same problem or will have so here is the information on 

obtaining the stronger struts. McMasters & Company are the people Zenith 

Aircraft gets the struts from.  Their phone number is 630-833-0300.  The 

gas struts furnished by Zenith for the ZodiacXL are part number 9416K12 

(40 Pound)  the stronger strut is part number 8416K123 (60 Pound)  The 

cost for two is $19.76, shipping is $5.00 for a total of $24.76.  They 

come without the attaching ends so you have to use your old ones however 

the old struts screw out and the new one screws in.  Very easy to change.

Just be aware that Tracy's original post appears to be about the bubble doors on a 701 or 801. The 40 or 60 pound units were for the 601's heavier bubble canopy. But I'm sure McMasters would have something suitable for the bubble doors.
