Cory. Yes I was just trying the nut. Disconnected the rod from the motor and shortened it as much as it will go. That helps. It won't clear if I keep my finger on it constantly but if I tap the switch a couple times when it's close it will open the extra inch for clearance.
It's much better though.-- Amre

I'm bumping this thread to share the music. I have both the soft top hinge struts and the tonneau struts being made. I also have cornered the global market on the sleeves so will be offering them together with the struts.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get this piece back in place?
Slide the sleeve over the top of the strut and install the pin to attach the top of the sleeve to the hinge. Don't forget to put a small dab of grease in the ball first.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

power tops have a power lid and no way to attach lid struts without modification. Power tops use the same struts as manual topsSeat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

I have a fresh stock of soft top struts just in time for the nice weather. I don't have many but the good he's is that they are $79 shipped CONUS and for $109 you get deck lid struts as well.
Note that the plastic sleeves are readily available online if you need them so I am not including them with the strutsSeat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

And if you need the plastic sleeves, which I recommend replacing, the PN is 54311943751 and they are about $7@Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com
