[DMCForum] Re: DPNW Lock Actuators. (Torsion Bars).

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Honestly Andrew, it depends on how good your gas struts are, and how 
tight your t-bars are now. If your doors droop at all, then they will 
probably just open correctly after the actuators are installed. If 
they "fly" open now, then you might consider having it done soon.

In my opinion, if the doors "bounce" more than once after they hit 
the stops then you're too tight. Even temperature has an effect on 
how the doors open. Down in TX, the heat will make the gas expand in 
the shock so the doors will open more forcefully.

If you just can't pay to have 'em adjusted now, "ride" the door open 
with the strap or handle to the stops so they don't bounce. Advise 
your passengers to do the same. That's what I did until Dave 
Titlebaum adjusted mine at the Spring Social in NY.

Hope this helps,
