RE: [DML] Rear Louvers hitting stainless T-Panel

["Jason Perkins" <jperkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone (and great tip Todd).  I looked at it again last night
when I got home for about 5 min at 10 pm (long day).  It's definitely
tucked under the T-Panel for some reason now.  

So I think if I am reading all the posts correctly, it should actually
be above the T-Panel when closed  " You have to set the sunshade so it
is slightly above the Tee roof and behind when closed."  

I'll play with moving it this weekend then from below to above the
T-Panel then.

Jason,

I've had good luck using 'wobbly socket extensions'.  If you've never
heard 
of these they are basically regular socket extensions but with a
slightly 
rounded end so you can bend them around and create an angle with your 
extensions.  From here I close the louvers and make sure it latches and
is 
at the proper height as to not hit the T-panel, then I can reach in with
my 
series of wobbly extensions and tighten the bolts without having the
louvers 
open.  Having the wobbly extensions allows you to direct the ratchet out
one 
of the louver openings to tighten the bolts.  Works great!

Good Luck,
