Wouldn't that be something?!

Starting to rethink how my front access doors open. It's been a long time since I first installed them. I want to git away from the eye hook fastening system I have now and want to go with a sliding lock setup. I thought about a push lock setup but I want a positive lock as I don't want the access doors popping open while I'm driving. I don't want an auto air brake!

By reducing the number of steps and removal/installation of locking fasteners to open the access doors to deploy the cab cover, I should be able to deploy the cab cover in less than 30 seconds.

I also want to git away from the slots in the sides to allow the doors to open fully. I'll probably add in some 90° angle brackets so they will clear the edge of the opening. This will reduce the number of potential water intrusions in the aero cap and keep the interior dry.

I'm gonna install some FRP on the sides on top of the existing Luan panels (which is slowly delaminating) and foam the gaps with some expanding foam so I can hopefully shape it the way I need it to be.
