I trimmed the upper rear baggage panel to give about 1/16th
of an inch spacing between the upper and lower panels. I measured and cut a
couple of stiffeners to be Hysol’d to the lower panel to act as a lip for the
upper panel to rest on when in place. This serves double duty as a lip and as
an attachment point.
Once cut to size, I bent a half inch of the stiffener to
90 degrees effectively making an L bracket. I prepped both surfaces to be joined
and Hysol’d them together. I placed a 48” level on them with a couple of 5lb
plates on top to hold the pieces in place while they cure overnight. I will
drill and install three lock plates to the lip once the Hysol cures. This will
provide three more screws along the seam joining the upper and lower halves
together.
