RP sliding roof panel

[Hugh Barnes]

Thanks Ivor, just what I wanted. It confirms that the panel I am looking at, which appears ideal in every other respect, is exactly 1/2" short. As a result, I cannot add the wooden fillet and rubber seal that goes across the back of the panel affixed to the rear wooden rail in the panel as it fouls the transverse metal rail in the runner system. The solution I have come up with is to cut out the transverse metal rail and move it 1/2" forward in the runners. I will have to move/add material to the tranverse wooden rail it screws to, but I don't see that as a problem, or anything else in that plan. I'm going to think about it all for at least 3 more cups of tea before I jump!

What would be helpful Ivor is, if you have one, a picture of the rearmost wooden rail in the panel with the shaped fillet and rubber seal affixed to it, should you have one.

thanks again...
