On to Panel Height and Eye Hazards
One of the issues I’m facing (EDIT: Support ticket filed) is that when my panels are open, they’re exactly at eye height. I’ve smacked my head more times than I can count. Once hit my eye socket pretty hard. I think this is specifically a small truck issue.
- I’m 5’10"+
- From the ground to the panel where it connects to the hinge is 67.5"
- The panels open just barely over 90. The rear one slightly less than the sides.
- Looks like my panels are about 1.5 degrees “UP” from 90
My question is: Can the hinges tolerate being opened a few degrees more? I could literally redo the strut mount brackets to fix this in an hour, I just want to be sure I’m not going to put undue stress on the hinges.
