tricks to put on deck lid

Torsion bars, there is a left and right, it also makes a difference if the left or the right side are in front of one or another. Look at the "X" where the bars cross each other in the center, is the left in front or is it the right? The amount of bar torsion on either side will effect adjustment. Do not be surprised to have one side or the other on different notches. I adjusted my torsion springs just enought to hold itself, not to spring open. I made adjustments using a monkey wrench, torsion spring nothches.
