Also, does anyone know what the trick is to tighten up the anchor points for this strut. They both are lose and it’s only a matter of time that they will snap off.
The anchor attached to the door is completely inaccessible. The one on the door threshold is a mystery as well. I removed the 3 screws from the threshold but it doesn’t budge.
This was over two years ago so my memory isn't fully reliable. I think I had to change one end from the old strut to the new strut.

I have to look at mine as the end balls have loosened as well and I think I had to remove the threshold to tighten the ball end on the coach end when I replaced the strut.
