Looking for a replacement - there are shorter ones but the base is going to be tricky.

It may also mean the Kamm lifts up with the hatch and doesnt get damaged?

I've done a rough sketch.. (I'm closer to Piccasso than Monet..)

It is more or less like this, will take a ponder. I'm kind of reluctant to move the tailgate too much as the bugs are prone to leaky rears (steady) but mine is dry so far. And it is inside the warranty, and new, and shiney...

I did ponder replacing it with an (older) Diesel Aygo from Fife the other week...
