Rock’n’Roll Bed

[tony52orc]

I’m having problems putting my bed back. It takes a lot of effort and as I’m getting older and weaker it has become more of an issue. I have tried lubricating the sliding mechanism on both sides but this hasn’t made any difference. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you, Tony.

Has the hydraulic strut failed? There should be one on the right hand side, whilst looking at the seat/bed. They’re like a bigger longer version of a tailgate strut and they assist with pulling the bed back up into the seated position.

I can’t see anything resembling a hydraulic strut, maybe that’s the problem? I will see if I can get one fitted if not too expensive as that would certainly help.

Here’s a photo of ours before it was fitted. Apologies, the ram is on the right as you look at the seat / bed.

Hopefully you can see what I mean if you zoom in.

I certainly don’t have anything like that fitted to my bed. Thank you for this
