Re: [DML] Rear Louvers hitting stainless T-Panel

[Todd Nelson <tan5732@xxxxxxx>]

Jason,

I've had good luck using 'wobbly socket extensions'.  If you've never heard 
of these they are basically regular socket extensions but with a slightly 
rounded end so you can bend them around and create an angle with your 
extensions.  From here I close the louvers and make sure it latches and is 
at the proper height as to not hit the T-panel, then I can reach in with my 
series of wobbly extensions and tighten the bolts without having the louvers 
open.  Having the wobbly extensions allows you to direct the ratchet out one 
of the louver openings to tighten the bolts.  Works great!

Good Luck,
Todd Nelson
