    Google Murle Williams aviation. He is still in business but these parts aren't on his website - doesn't mean they don't still have them, though.

    Instead of using the supplied aluminum doublers where the lexan rivets to the top of the butt rib I used wider aluminum. 016 sheet about 1 inch wide. This made a 1/8 inch tall shelf on the butt rib. I then bonded strips to each side of the middle support to create a shelf there too. Haven't had to do it yet because of the weather, but on each half of the roof I can slide a sheet of something on top of the shelf and below the roof, like tinted lexan, or even cardboard to create a shade. This way it's removable. Should make more sense in the pics.
