What you may notice is that's it's got (now had) a fiber insulation meaning it was originally meant for a staff car HUP. The other change I have to make is to reposition the 'hold open' head banger piece (second pic, top left). HUP sliding hatches went all the way forward but wireless HUW hatches had to stop part way to prevent hitting the roof aerial brackets.

Hey Bruce,

Fantastic to see your progress , I'm at the hatch too don't know if your follow my FB page but otherwise I need to put some pictures up in this forum
