Hey
I finally stressed out my lift panels by lifting too much weight on the roof. I have been lifting the weight of 2 sea kayaks and a solar panel for years. I have 2011 Kestra. I have 4 -40# struts to assist the lift. (they are getting old) I finally see the wear and stress is on the thin aluminum panel supports. They are buckling. Has anyone replaced these with a steel support? Is there a thread showing how to get at the replacement of the panels?
