Re: [doc] Torsion Bar

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

agreed... but if you cant see a break in the torsion bar then its 
probably come 'adrift' at the rear from the mounting plate.

Carefully remove the rear trim under the upper louvre and im sure 
all will be clear waht has happened.

Keep us informed of what u find....good luck
