Anyone build, design or make a gas strut conversion to raise the rear trunk?
Thanks! |

The DAPO (who shall remain nameless) installed a set of gas struts on our factory six.
I don't like them. He cut the pinch weld between the trunk and the engine compartment, he drilled holes in the trunk hinges and the lip. I think they are a butcher job and get in the way of the storing of the top. And the ones on our six now have the lid hitting me on the head, so I have to carry a prop stick anyway. I am going to remove them and install replacement torsion bars. |
