Hello All
I have a 2002 Hawk that has preformed flawlessly all these years until I had the roof replaced in 2017. After that, even though the roof was lifted up all the way, the amount of bow-out on the lift panel required more effort to push the panels to lock position. This in-turn has popped the 8 right hand side rivets. They literally pulled right through the plywood. The wood is not rotted, nor has it ever been wet. A simple 16awg stainless steel strip giving the rivets something to anchor against, rather than the wood, would have mitigated this problem from ever happening.
Do any of you FWC owners have detailed .PDF instructions on how to R&R these panels?
Thank you in advance.
