When the optics cover is raised, it is supported by two gas struts (SMN 10309266) attached to the cover on the left and right sides. Over time, it is possible that these struts may lose their effectiveness and fail to support the optics cover in the open position. This could cause the cover to fall during maintenance procedures.
