I know there is already a post about struts, but in case some are no longer checking that thread out, I hoped a plea for help would get some hits.
I have a 2012 Fleet. I received the instructions for adding struts to the outside from FWC and the specific struts to use - Suspa 40# C16-15952. All this information is consistent with the good threads here.
I was excited about installing them today. With the roof up I located the top and bottom brackets as instructed, lowered the roof and the max distance I can get between brackets is 19.5". With the height of my roof there is simply no additional angle/distance I can push this. I need at least 20" for the struts to not bind so the roof can be lowered all the way. Two neighbors came over to take a look, they also can't figure out any placement or angles that will work.
So... with everyone saying they do this in an hour, how do you do it? Is my top higher than others, or with struts does the roof not raise completely? Those are the only two things I can think of.
