I installed mine over the weekend. Seems really stable and solid, and it's a huge improvement over my own attempt at a solution.

But an important warning to existing EZ lift owners: the YouTube video instructions have you disconnect the EZ lift struts at the very beginning and then reconnect them at the end of the install. However, I was not able to reconnect mine because the decompression added a couple of inches to the length of the strut. It no longer mates up with the connection point on the soft top and it requires WAY too much force to re-compress.

You may want to hold off on your install or get in touch with IAG first, if you do already have an EZ lift installed. I'm eagerly awaiting the response on my support request.

There are a couple of ways to re-compress the struts if you have one of the earlier models that are a bit longer. They definitely have some force behind them, however I find the easiest method is to remove the windows and stand up in the trunk with your head out of the rear window area. From there, use your entire body weight to compress the strut slowly. Once you get over the initial force, it won't take as much to compress them the rest of the way. Alternatively, if you haven't removed the strut yet, wrap a ratchet strap around the strut before removing it so that it doesn't expand once released from the ball stud.

How much depth does this add to the bottom of the window area?

I have the Diabolical Slipstream, so do not want to run into the metal.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I'm sure I have the early struts from your initial offering.

They don't fit together without modification. The lid from the Slipstream will prevent you from closing the soft top after installing the EZ pull, even if you remove the lid's 'tail' piece that underlaps the soft top frame.

I'm just going to cut the lid to fit on mine. It won't compromise the security and I want the convenience of the EZ pull. It solves the soft top latch fitment and operation issues that Diabolical never addressed in their design.

If you don't mind posting your final look? Agree that the Slipstream makes this difficult, so would be a nice fix!

Hopefully my cut line won't be too jank, but I can cover it with that rubber protector from the tail piece. Wish me luck!

I have the Slipstream as well -- now I want to see yours before I pull the trigger!

IAG -- it appears at $389 on your website... is something messed up?

I was able to recompress the struts with my neighbor's help. The amount of force it needs is no joke!

Now I just need to tweak the latch positions - I guess the upward pressure from the struts slightly changed how the soft top frame sits.

I hope to finish the Slipstream lid this weekend.

The Slipstream modifications will include trimming the actuator rods and covers as well. The enclosure uses the screws at the latch for mounting. This pushes the latch inward an inch or so. I attempted an install at Super Cel, but I just kept running into interference.

 

[bomchet]

So I don't have the previous version -- will this work with the standard slipstream?

I've posted a write-up about the mods I made to get the Diabolical Slipstream to work with the EZ-Pull / EZ-Lift system:

Hope this answers some questions. I love the way mine works now!

Thank you, @IAG Performance.
