I have the sun shade installed, and recently put the Strong Strut cartridges in. The hatch opens so high, it tilts the lid almost perpendicular to the ground. Anyway, the pins that are supposed to hold the lid in slip out of their slots. Then I need two hands to close the hatch, cause the struts are so strong, that I can't put the lid back in the slots, and it gets jammed up. Anyone ever extend the length of the pins, so they stay in place better? Also, who has used an alternative to the Strong Struts, that isn't so long and hard? No pun intended.

(i fixed it for now with two screws that are only screwed in half way.) but i would take stock hatch struts to an auto parts store and see if they are willing to look around for struts that may work. __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 03-30-2009, 10:23 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: San antonio, tx Posts: 135 | hello again---just saw this post from last year---did you ever find a hatch lid---i have a new one that i purchased but only had in the car a few weeks. decided not to use it. mac | | | 04-01-2009, 02:55 PM | #6 | Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: philly Posts: 87 | how much you want for it | | | 04-02-2009, 01:14 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: San antonio, tx Posts: 135 | hello---i paid $170 at the dealer late last year and only used a few weeks so would sell for $100---can connect anywhere in philly to avoid shipping. i had messaged you about the black seats so perhaps i can check them out. phone is 609 670 0365, email macilona@comcast.net | | | 04-05-2009, 09:54 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 | my pins broke off on one side. i don't even keep it in the car anymore. more hassel than its worth. __________________ 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0t track | 2000 Dakota Former 1995 318ti owner | | | 04-10-2009, 04:48 AM | #9 | Z3 Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Usa Posts: 660 | Still for sale? ________ American Last edited by Bozola; 01-31-2011 at 03:29 PM. | | | 04-10-2009, 01:00 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: San antonio, tx Posts: 135 | yes---and it is the gray color. | | | 04-10-2009, 03:31 PM | #11 | Z3 Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Usa Posts: 660 | Dang..
