So its become quite clear through a trial mock up with the rear window, trunk lid, and replacement deck filler panel (dutchman) that the replacement dutchman is arched about 7/16" high in the middle. A fit test between my loose replacement (AMD) deck lid filler panel and the trunk lid conforms the same. The original package shelf remained in place along with the piece in between the ductchman and package shelf for the mock up. See my build thread for a some pixs.
So options and thoughts from the groups regarding path forward?
Beat the **** of the panel with me best body hammer and order a new one and hope for better results?
Complain to the supplier (Stephans Performance) and ask for a new one and hope for better results?
OR deal with this myself and:
cut some some narrow slits along the bottom edges of the gutter and bottom edge where it meets the window (red lines) and support it on the ends (green) and tweak the center down by sitting on it then weld it back up?
Any input welcome!
thanks
Brian
