it does not look like there is much adjustment in these systems there held up with springs pulled with cables the springs could weaken over time
I think '05 was the last year where Viking used the IDT lift system
Although it doesn't bring any solution to my adjustment issue, it definitely explain lot of thing about the lifting system of my popup! Thank a lot. This is definitely the IDT system on my unit and it looks like a very crappy system that only been used during a few years. I even found about a safety recall for the falling roof that can cause injuries or death. But I found a conformity sticker on my unit saying it's been serviced about the recall, so at least this thing will not eventually kill me.
As you said, this system doesn't look very adjustable so maybe I will consider modify the popup as a workaround to the issue, like moving the two front post mounting brackets 1.25 inch higher than rear of the roof... definitely a ghetto fix, but if I put the roof bracket 1.25 inch higher on front, that will make rear at the same height... sort of.
