After adding the table to the rear door, I pondered what to do next? Well, why not try the Gearshade Limb Riser Kit. I have to admit I'm not likely to every be in a position to use the kit but I liked the look so why not be a poser? LOL.
Installing the US made kit is pretty straight forward. You do have to know how to remove the covers on the top of the windshield frame. I had to watch the good folks over at 151 Garage to understand how simple this is. Basically, at the top of the cover there is a "button", push the button in and at the same time pull from the top, and off it comes.
The 151 Garage pointed out, over a year ago, that Gearshade could improve this kit by including cable leashes so that you don't lose the pins that holds the thing together. This is important because to open your hood, you need to remove the pin and lower the cable and bracket safely to the said. The hood will otherwise catch on the limb riser, not open and possibly scratch the hood. Not good.
It is easy to make the pin retainer with a length of wire and clamps.
Another suggestion is to add those plastic corner protectors. These help to prevent any damage from the Gearshade components.
PS. 2/29/24: I added a picture that shows what the Gearshade looks like installed.
