Maxpow Compatible Integra Struts Supports Review

Very easy to install and made my hatchback like new! The only problem I had was figuring out the length as the hatchback didn't seem "big" enough. Read somewhere on the Internet how to solve the problem. On the Integra, insert the bottom end with the eyelet hole first, then snap the top into the new ball seat on the sunroof and raise the sunroof higher than normal.

When I first tried to install gas struts there were a few concerns. Because they are turned upside down first. The originals have a cylinder at the bottom, these have a cylinder at the top.

New racks come with a small plastic bag with ball fittings and a new E-clamp. DO NOT LOAD THE NEW BALL INTO THE RACK FIRST! Using the supplied…

These frames come without instructions. They work great once you get the hang of it. This isn't rocket science. My instructions are as follows: First off, these braces are designed to mount just backwards from the OEM sunroof spacers. In other words, the end of the gas cylinder is attached to the hatch, and the end of the rod is attached to the body.
