Cut one panel down to 24" long and attached it in place of the 48" panels. I'll still have to install a strip of flashing to the tub lid so the back of the panels won't wear into the tub lid. I'll be going on a road test later this afternoon. If this doesn't work out, I can always install the remaining 48" panel in the middle and use the 24" panels on the side.

Backing up the driveway...you can see how the wheel drops the back end down. I might have to extend the front edge of the tub lid...

I might have to install a gap cover fer the upper gap cover, too. I'll probably just use one of the remaining vinyl baseboards.
