Has anyone thought of trying a linear actuator that runs off a DC current?
Push a button....up it goes. Push another button, down it goes. You might
have to remove the current lifter arms, but what if you mounted them futher
back towards the middle of the car, with the other end attached to the top
point in the westy top and had them just angle up as they ride on bearings.
Seems Doable. If anyone has any input on this, i might give it a try, all i
have to loose is my pride.
