<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 16px"><DIV><SPAN class=misspelled>Hi</SPAN> <SPAN class=misspelled>Volks</SPAN>;</DIV><DIV>I am considering a <SPAN class=misspelled>poptop</SPAN> assist unit. I have 2 questions/concerns. First off, I was wondering about lowering, The last foot or so of my <SPAN class=misspelled>poptop</SPAN> drop involves pulling in and carefully storing the canvas of one's top. I usually do this while holding the top up with my head (insert "well that's using your head" joke) while storing the canvas. My concern is I have heard that the <SPAN class=misspelled>poptop</SPAN> assisted tops come down with some force through that last foot or two. Does this make it any harder to hold up the top while storing canvas? Any thoughts on this one?</DIV><DIV>My other question involves the best vendor/assist unit to purchase. I just <SPAN class=misspelled>e</SPAN>-mailed Ken at <SPAN class=misspelled>VanAgain</SPAN> to see what he has come up with, but I would like input from those who have used the assist units as to who is selling the best unit. It seems pretty simple, but as I have found out from those rear door lift pistons on a <SPAN class=misspelled>Westy</SPAN>, there are better ones and worse ones.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV><SPAN class=misspelled>Dave</SPAN> B.</DIV></div> |
