Had I seen the other detailed pic thread by 3Gair, I would have seen where he did just exactly that, peeled away a little of the sound deadening to get the lower passenger side pin out of the lifting cylinder,
AND, loosened the bracket that the cylinder mounts to, then the pin comes out.
We DID have the pigtails reversed. Swapping those corrected the top malfunction. Works great now.
Re-installation of those pins was tricky and we made a tool out of a shortened allen wrench to put in from behind to line up the holes as the pin was inserted from the opposite side.
