It could be taken off in one piece. It would be kinda awkward. I bought an extra set from Woody.

Looking good! I see they did some more sanding. It's kinda funny...every time I have started a project and then used a professional to finish, it seems like they always end up going over what I spent time doing. How'd you feel to see what they sanded...that probably (with a grinder) took a few seconds after you had spent so much time sanding yourself? I know how I would have felt...

Ya LOL I dont mind if it comes out nice. They always do a great job at a good price so I only say something if I see a problem. Can't wait to get it back.

First "I didnt see that coming" moment ☹
No latch, almost perfect:
Latch installed, adjusted as low as possible. Pretty big gaps. Any comments, ideas?

A little progress today. Threaded the wiring through the hatch. Should of done that before paint and installation, no room to work under there. I installed one window and got my hatch latch finished and working correctly. Still have alot of adjusting to do.
