I'm in exactly the same position.  I'm actually toying with some M6
extenders and some all-thread, with a view to maybe being able to extend the
struts a little (it's just constant compression load, so I'm hoping it'll
take the load).  Either that, or I drill new holes - I was aiming to
integrate the pop top lift kit into roof rack mounts, and drilled all 4
holes already, so I'll end up with a lot more holes than I'd originally
planned on :o(

Mark's not replied to my "WTF?" message yet - have you had any luck with
him?
