Guy's you are an absolute life saver, ive built my own truck Topper and cannot for the life of me get the tailgate to work properly .
Ive welded on more brackets and ground them off again , then i found your video 😁 i measured my strut looked at your chart and hey presto works perfect its all down to that P measurement that half of us did not know how to find it thanks guys 😁😁🙏🙏🙏
Hi Karlalton, thanks for your comment! That's great to hear, we're glad that this was helpful for you 🙂
Does all this apply the same to a horizontal opening lid?
Cool!!! Thanks you so much
We're glad you like it
Thank you this was very helpful. Is there a calculation if you do not want a 90 degree open? Also the door that i'm opening is a 20kg lid for a large storage chest, does that change the strut pressure Kg at all?
Hi Gema & Co, thanks for your comment! There is no specific calculation, but the guide is:
If the opening angle is more than 90° decrease the measurement 'P'
If the opening angle is less than 90° increase the measurement 'P'
The pressure in our struts is adjustable, follow instructions at 2:08 to release the gas pressure and adjust to suit your door.
Hope this clears up your questions :)

What if the approx. extended length did not match with the numbers in the chart,should i take nearest value ? Like in my case the Approx. Extended length is coming 443mm which is not in the chart,what should i do?
Hi Suprema, yes that's correct, take the nearest value - for your case it would be 6468 (432mm extended length).
