Is there an adjustment i can make or does it need cleaned? i greased the scissor parts. it is cable actuated going to a big pin. thanks | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | if it's not a double acting setup [power up/power down] it's not unusual that it won't close all the way with no weight on it

Obviously longer heavier bodies will lower faster. Make sure the hinge is free and lubed as well.
p.s. - I was in Nashville a couple of years ago after many, many years.
