Here is my solution for proping the under bed storage lid open on my Edge M21 I just acquired.
After adding a 4" memory foam topper that was pretty stiff on top of the factory mattress I needed a way to hold the lid open hands free:
I used two pieces of leftover 2" PVC pipe I had laying around, cut to 18".
Two sheet metal screws in lid, 5" in from each end, 14" up from hinges hold the top of the PVC pipe.
Two large self tapping bolts 11" from hinge into the metal frame on each end hold the bottom of the PVC pipe.
Drilled two holes in the lid where the bolts would otherwise hit the plywood lid when closed.
