Gary,

Does your PVC tube actually slide completely into the supporting
position as you open the hatch?  Or do you have to use a hand to finish
getting it to go past the end of the cylinder?  It seems it would have
to slide "up" to go into position without any assistance.

My strut is installed in the opposite orientation as in the picture on
the Bloss pdf I have offered to share with the list.  It clearly will
fall into place.  See the attached.  (the links in the pdf file are no
longer operative)

I have cc'd this to the list which will not get the attachment.

Sam
