I got a chance to work on getting the new panel installed. First hurdle I ran into was just getting the panel in there. I had to open up the roof edge on the corners so I could roll the new panel in.

I also cut the panel in half to ease the work load and take the worry away of both corner being where they needed to be.

Worked out GREAT! About two days of fitting and 15 minutes of welding. Outer panel is all installed and I couldn't be happier with it. Huge thanks to MP&C
