Fixing the cover gas spring?

The gas spring that holds up the safety shield on my lathe no longer holds it up. Is there any maintenance I can do on it now to improve its holding strength?

Barring that, is there a suitable replacement for it? Maybe a McMaster part number?

I just ordered one from Tormach, it was not that expensive

I wanted to fix it yesterday so I could do some work. In any case, I couldn’t find it on the website, do you have a link?

I ordered p/n 34314 air spring for 15l chuck guard

I also ordered new way wipers P/N 3417
