It all works with good fit, good gap and I'm really happy till the last step. When I hook up the hold up supports, one side kicks out. If I re-adjust the hinges to make it fit the other side kicks out. Never a problem at the top. I'm thinking it all to do with the hinges causing a twist or something, but so far no luck. Any ideas ??? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Maybe you have the hinges swapped side to side? The spring should be inboard. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 75 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 75 | Nope, they are inboard, but I was wondering if slop or play in the spring mechanism could be a factor and cause it to kick out. | | |
