Requested a Valley rim to replace the rear main hatch (same size for the front hatch). It seems usually this rim would be epoxyed in to a fiber glass deck in a flat seamless design but the Nadgee Solo seems to rely om countersunk bolts sealed with sikaflex. Had to custom shape the base plate to fit and likewise the bolt holes (changed the types of bolts used), very messy. But once fitted both the original and replacement hatches fit with a bone dry result, overall worth the effort if I avoided a not so tight fitting hatch like the original rim.
