I have been thinking about this for a while. I would think that it would be better for the doors too. I imagined that to close the system would just release all pressure in an instant and that would cause the doors to drop rapidly on their own weight. I'm thinking that this would avoid the unintential off axis pressure when manually closing the doors. I can't imagine the system would take that much room or be that complicated. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Payne" <bpayne@xxxx> wrote: > Has anyone ever considered the use of a micro hydraulic system much like > that on some convertible tops?
