Placement of gas struts

Postby Miriam C. » Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:07 pm

Amazingly enough the placement of gas struts is hiding. Anyone know how to decide where to put them?

Thanks very much

Aunti M... Look to the above link down to struts please.

Steve has a formula if you look see there.

Thank you Steve. I looked under Gas struts in the index :oops:

This one seems to be the one that makes the most sense to me.

Bingo, Miriam! Sonetpro's diagram is the one that I used when installing mine, and I'm thrilled with the results! I love just giving the hatch a gentle tug and then it magically floats open!
