Manual Reference:
Brief Description: try alternate strut ball placement

alternate hole location does in fact open the door higher, but the pressure on the strut and hinges is much higher. Too much I think. Back to orginal hole location. May search for a strut with a bit more stroke...maybe .5"? Not moving main bracket! Will plug unused hole with a AN5 bolt to provide add'l strength.

added 2nd hole farther inboard

opens much further

open. Sorry...can't rotate and get it to stick
