See for yourself at: >http://www.telusplanet.net/public/gary2a/rack/vanagonrack.htm Loretta, How do you get the rear hatch to stay open with all that weight (tire, etc.) on it? The photo <http://www.telusplanet.net/public/gary2a/rack/gastire15.jpg> makes it look like the stock door struts are holding all that weight! How does it work with this additional weight? Thanks for the look-see. Dave -- Dave Carpenter Whatever you wish for me, May you have twice as much. |
