Can't be sure it related but it's hell of a coincidence.  
I now need to spend £70 for a replacement oem strut, however I see on ebay you can get a metal replacement socket only for £25. I think it must be an aftermarket product and not oem.

This Is making me reconsider removing the tab - I only removed the one on the side where it had worn a hole in the top fabric.  Anyone else experience this?
