RE: [DML] Fw: door lift cylinders

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I told Video Bob after he bought the new Stabilus factory original struts
that they are strong and needed to re adjust the torsion bars when the temp
was around 70 to 75  degree. I see by the video that hasn't done.  He may
wake up some morning and the $1,000.00 torsion bar is broke and wish it was
done.  The video also shows that they perform even in cold weather and don't
sag like some others.
The bar really needs to be backed off. Stabilus also does not build in the
buffer as the door goes up. There are some that are made in Turkey that
will, but the quality unless it's been improved hasn't been very good.
If you will re adjust the torsion bar you will be fine.
