Bob is right on both accounts. I had an issue with my GS hatch covers but now they works, though I do need to pull a bit on the tab for the less frequently used cover.

Thanks for any suggestions. > Frequent application of "303" to the inner edge of the hatch cover, as well as to the rim, will make it much easier to remove the cover while not compromising the seal. Incidentally, frequent application of 303 to the entire hatch cover will make it last longer. > Bob *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
