Anybody using the Siene ultimate struts for engine lid and front trunk lid?

[nippy]

Just ordered mine.The struts on the rear push on the ducktail creating a gap,so I tried using just 1 and then it made it look cockeyed.Did a search and didnt see any good info.

Nippy - I'm in the same boat as you - bought a Seine strut for the engine lid (fg ducktail) because of fitment/gap issues with the gas strut.

I'm going to install this weekend but anticipate some "issues" with a/c lines on the hinge. Are you running a/c on your car?

Cheers,

you'll have no probs, it's a very slick, good quality product.

We were contacted about interference with the A/C line at the driver side hinge.

Here are a couple of options:
1. Install Ultimate Strut on the passenger side hinge (mock up on '84 w/AC):

FYI, angle shown is off a bit. The metal foot of the tube normally rests in the hex-depression of the supplied replacement socket head bolt for one of the motor mount bolts.



2. Use longer trunk version with rear mounting hardware and install thusly (special order):



Hope this helps,
