Because I have a couple Gary Lee "devices" on my hatch, part of his
"kit" includes the PVC. I use it to keep the hatch up while I install a
mechanic's strut clamp (they have an orange tag on them, used to
be sure the hood or other, stays up while working. It's a great back
up, easy to install/remove and stows in the shelf above the AC/
cabinetry, where I also stow the keep-the-hatch-slightly-open
device that I think I got from Go Westy. Handy to let cool air flow
through the cabin.
That little PVC device can support the hatch with a bike rack,
bike, full gas can on it, oh, and the hatch .... pretty impressive little
helper.
