My T-panel was warped upwards a bit in the back, and it had bent the plastic screen over time, but the only real concern I had about it was that it made the louvers rub against the T-panel when opening. Once the T-panel was removed, however, it was easy to see the root cause -- the steel plate that holds the rear ends of the torsion bars was pulling away from the fiberglass. I couldn't believe the thing was actually *glued* down, considering the amount of stress it's under. The fix is actually pretty easy (if you're comfortable with removing the torsion bars), and can be found in the tech section of the DMCNews site: http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/tbar.htm Once this was complete and the T-panel was flat again, the plastic screen went back on without much trouble. Mine was pliable enough to pull fairly straight again without applying any heat. Bending the stainless clips on the T-panel a little will help pull the plastic into shape, but if it's warped badly you'll probably have to drill a new hole or two.
