Cobra Trailer

Whenever I'm faced with an OEM part replacement, I look around to see if the
money could be better spent on an upgrade. One thing that caught my eye is
the 12V electric ball screws that boat people use to open hatches. These
things are often on E-bay for less than $100. A pair of them could easily
open the Komet top. How cool would it be to open a trailer by just pushing
a button.

I prefer to keep things simple and got factory replacements struts.
Pricey at US$125 each - but I don't have to worry about having power at
the trailer. To each his own, of course. But you're right,it would be
way cool :-).

The trailer that I saw with the Duster that JJ built had a clamshell
fitted with jet canopy hydraulic lifters. That was very interesting
and easy to use.
