[Sentoa] Hatch for Upper Deck Access

[Joel Truher]

I used a strut like one of these:

it holds the hatch pretty firmly in the "open" position.

My guy didn't get the geometry right so he redid it and it was passable then.  Did you solve the problem of it flopping around when open?  I would like to do something better than the  bungee cord I use.   Thanks.

I reworked it a little and installed it myself, which was super easy.  I think it's great -- keeps the sun and rain out a little more, and it's a lot safer for little kids than a big hole in the upper deck.  :-)
