What kind of frankenstein sh** is this?

Since you are already talking about pulling the hatch back up to replace the tank, figured I would throw out an idea someone here had. Before you 4200 the hatch back down work a piece of braid or heavy mono down into the seam, all the way around. Tie a loop at each end and leave it just sticking out so that you can grab it with something. When it is time to remove, instant zipper. Do not know whose idea it was but it sure makes life easier later.

I was planning on it, but I didn't have any at the time, and I just wanted to get it done. I'll regret it later, but for now its in there.
