Hi all. Has anyone used the 12 volt Jackajay? It looks pretty good.

Yep a big improvement over the cables / hand crank ..
Though a failure with the system is still a Holiday over [ or work out how to manualy raise / lower roof ] and a visit too where to get it fixed [ A specialty repair place / dealers ?? doubtful ] and potentialy still a 3 month wait ..
No different to the original reason ..
Now a cheap easy to store / use emergency external clip on lift / lower system like airbags or air rams .. 4x lift rams / bags [ bit over 1m in length ] 4 x roof support bars, a length of airline fitted with a ball valve bleeder, with quick connectors, use your air compressor from the car / what ever, would be of a better benefit in case of a lift failure . Five minute set up, holiday continues .. Fix the drama when you get home .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp1uuMrTy8M (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp1uuMrTy8M) .

Hey Ed’s, is that the link you meant to put up? When I click on it I get a small DIY pneumatic ram, not air bags🤔
