That is a pain- hopefully someone can chime in with the brand they’ve had success with. Any hardtop owners out there with ideas??

I’ve replaced struts but never had that issue. Can you post some pictures of what’s going on? It sounds like if/when you get it shut it just opens again. Is that right?
