While in Las Vegas NV temps were geting over110°f and the plastic relaxed Slightly about 1/4" so I used some "light"tan hammer tone plastic compatible rattle can paint. Painted over the wight duct tape burn hole patches. Figured it would help as sunscreen spf 100. Maby. However much ro my dismay it turned out a dark copper. So during my 2nd trip to LV the heat sag was much larger problem @ about 117°f it would sag about .5" on the 2 center spans at the hottest part of the day. But the plastics would go back to tight after about 1-5min of driving got back to the soggy cool NWand it was back to a snear drum.


BamZipPow you called it 6months. However the Oratex has been tested past 10years passing FAA testing so it will work for the long hual. Srick and shrink repairable easy compound curves
Hear is a hammer test with the Oratex I found. http://https://youtu.be/yoI5PEIxtEg


Well 6 months in I saw 3/4" crack form in week spots only(over heated cussing it to thin after thickening)


tube from a 4 in. fat tire bike as a gap filler
May up to pool noodles I didnt account for rhe forward lean of the back of the cab v2.0 will.
The last 2 are learning curve errors
paint chiped off from improper attachment

The missing paint(bright spots) was caused by the bace plastic changing to much strechmarks given time theas would become cracks justified an extra 10# of steal fraim work
wasn't melted well enough and separated nextto hot

Changes for v1.2
Added 1/2" Millar backed fome between the fraim and plastic. It softened the allmity side to top transition and noise suppression
Added an inner hoop for mounting point.
Added lift struts.
Added a latch mechanism
Added Garage goor seal for bededge seal

Total weight for moving part is 35# V1.0 was 21#
