[QUOTE="mike202, post: 418951, member: 17202"] What I am hoping to do is mount the bottom of the gas strut onto the westie hinge (at the rear end) and the top end to the pop top on a suitably strengthened location. It's just a plan at the moment, there was someone onTLB that had done it to their rear hinged pop top and I thought it looked pretty good as well as making it easier to push up the pop top. I think the main issue is not having the gas strut too powerful so that may damage the pop top but I have seen adjustable struts that can be reduced in force by allowing some of the compressed gas out. In that way it should be possible to get the balance right. :-) Mike Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
