Dick, I have the same problem with my new struts.....it is pretty exciting to see my wife go UP along with the door when she triggers it tho, and after meeting your light weight wife at Memphis I know the problem you have. However I do not have the automated openers you have......sure wish you or someone would drop by and install them for me. All kidding aside tho. Mine now I am afraid, are just TOO strong......I have not seen them take so much pull to close them and think I should loosen the torsion bar a notch. I keep thinking winter is coming and maybe they will be okay then! Great meeting you finally and connecting names to faces. However I sure missed a lot of them too that I KNOW were there.
