Hi Jim, Sounds like you were one step ahead of us. Let us know how it goes with time. I hope to eventually join you in using at least a little of that space. Or possibly both sides. Eric

I can pretty much get all my tools back there. Decked it out with a bostig sticker >> its just a piece of scrap metal I had. I cut it to this shape, stuck a bostig sticker on it, and voila. There are a couple of locator pins at the very top lip, and a locator pin at the bottom. These pins are just part of the van that I found helpful to locate/position the cover. Currently it is secured at the top with velcro, but I may change that. >> >> >> On Sun, Feb 23, 2020 at 10:18 AM Eric Caron <ericcaron96@comcast.net <mailto:ericcaron96@comcast.net>> wrote: >> Hi Jim, >> >> I tried to go to the link but it says page not found.
