Cool! I think I understand what you did now. Could you possibly post a picture of your "mod", and how it works? I think it could be helpful to all of us.

Clever idea to add lube points! I WILL however caution you that you should probably lift the trim strips off so you can inspect the cables for fraying. My understanding (and I could well be wrong) is...

Johnnie, if you have seal all around, your cables are adjusted properly. A 1/2 inch difference in height between the front and back is not excessive, and I think mine is about the same. Nope, no...

*grin* I wasn't worried about being "correct", Tree - was just trying to give guidance on what the effect of changing the position of the adjusting bolts on the top position was. I've noticed in the...

:D

I just reread your post. Pulley action on cables can be confusing - I'm going to try one more time to clarify, I've bolded the part where I think you may be going astray:

When the pulley on...

I suspect you have slack in your cables when the top is down. This would allow the ram to move some without raising the roof. Possibly, it moves 3" before actually taking up that slack and starting...

You've got it Tree! And the cable adjustments ARE 1:1. They can't be otherwise. Like you, I do the adjustments a bit at a time.

Great minds? (Or maybe we're BOTH senile! :) :))

Tree, I think you possibly misunderstood what I posted. If the cylinder moves a pulley mount out 1 foot, it will actually lift the top 2 feet (a 1:2 ratio). Another way of thinking of this is that a...

No, I don't think the fact that the cables go over moving pulleys has anything to do with how high the top goes. If you shorten the cable at the adjusting bolt by 1", I believe it will raise that...

Mike, if you were 1/2" too high and you loosened all cables by 1", I don't understand how you are still too high at one corner. Perhaps if you "cycle" the top up and down a couple times, it will...

marininn, when the top is down, it should rest on the "outriggers" (the short square supports that stick out of the lower half on the sides). It won't go lower than that, no matter how long you make...

No, you SHORTEN the cable to increase lift. But, be careful that you do not shorten it too much. If you do, you can damage the lift system or the top where the cable bolts to it. You should adjust...
