[QUOTE="Redline Tuning, post: 1213898, member: 71795"] Gas springs should be mounted so that when the hood is closed, the larger cylinder is higher than the extending strut. That would mean that the large end should be attached to the fender in almost every case. This is what we specify in our manuals and also what we specify in our FAQ and Tips page on our site. [url]http://www.redlinetuning.com/QL-tips.html[/url] As far as the rivet problems, we have heard from 3 individuals with problems with thousands of QuickLIFTs on the road. We make our directions as clear as we possibly can and yet people will still have problems - some have written us with clearance problems, only to find out the brackets are upside down. We now have a dealer in So. Cal (GTR), and are planning additional dealers across the U.S. - they will all know how to put the QuickLIFTs on. Riveting the steel rivets isn't a difficult task, but must be done correctly for them to bind and hold the bracket on firmly. Attaching the brackets to fiberglass or any composite requires a blind rivet - there isn't another option besides cutting an access panel on the side for nuts and washers. We have chosen what works best in our testing. We are always investigating other methods, yet without feedback to us there is no way to know problems exist. Please write us if you are having a problem - there isn't any issue that can't be resolved. A very easy way to mess up your installation is to move the rivet gun while compressing the riveter. The riveter head must be held parallel to the hood - and it wouldn't even hurt to have someone help out because you are riveting to something that moves. Again, we will address each and every issue our customers have - we are all about having happy customers. Thanks to all of you - great forum! Brian Redline Tuning [/QUOTE]
