20sf hatch question

[mikeyk]

My hatch was waterlogged due to water intrusion into the core. I took a circular saw and cut out the entire section, essentially ending up with what looked like a small door frame. I replaced this section with 3/4" Airex foam and glassed both sides. While you're at it, locate your fuel sending unit and install an access on your new hatch so you won't have to pull your console, etc. if you ever have sending unit issues. New hatch weighed 20# less than the old one BTW.
