Hatch Struts
The strut bracket should be positioned with the bracket starting ⅜” from the top corner of the hatch
support area. The bracket should be on the inside of the hatch area with the strut ball pointing in. Make
sure all of the mount holes land on the tube. Mark the locations of the mounting holes.
Use a
7
/
32
” drill bit for the mounting screws.
Attach the strut brackets to the frame. If there is a slight gap between the body and the aluminum as
there was on ours, put the bracket between the body and the aluminum.
Attach the body side of the strut to the frame ball stud.
