Lowering pop top

Thanks Grant, the fat end is up the top. I think it may be worth my while to replace the Struts.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply Russan,

Will have to replace the strut by the looks of it.

Appreciate reply John,

It seems by your reply that I should replace all in one go. Will avoid future issues.

Definitely would replace all four. When I did ours I found that they had used three of one type & pressure, and one of a different type and pressure. From memory they cost about $30 each from our Jayco dealer.

My method is ;

Pop the top and measure each strut from top bracket to bottom bracket.
Prop up the top.
Remove struts from bracket - note do not remove bracket
Put old struts aside to be discarded.
I would then place the new strut on the bottom shelf of my workbench (between the legs) and use a bottle jack to compress the strut to the length required.
Use soft reasonably heavy gauge wire threaded around the "bolt" ends to hold the strut at the required length.
Strut can then be forced into the bracket and bolted into place before cutting and removing the wire.

No doubt other members will have a simpler system but this worked for me.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip John.
