Thanks Scott. For sure. Good idea. I was aprised of that already and had anticipated that part of the cut on my own. I didn't want to learn how to roll the edges in, so I figured I'd put some type of plastic on the opening to "take the edge off it". So to speak. ;^) Maybe I'll use some of the stuff that slips over the edge of the gutters at the front of the van. I pulled some off the front gutters of the parts Vanagon. (it was glued on and snapped :( Neil.
