Message I posted this MESSAGE a few days ago showing this crappy fitment on the Kaminari wing.

As it turns out, the shop had used a whole tube of urethane to glue the wing down, so there was no way it was going to be simply pushed into position. Besides, I was told that it was already stressed to its limit, any further pushing of the tip would crack it.

THe shop owner was kind enough to agree to mold the wing to the hatch...for no extra charge to me! He basically had to fill that void with fiberglass and then sand the whole thing down smooth and even.

It makes for a very sweet-looking piece, but the time and effort invested was NOT worth it. Be VERY careful with those wings guys, if you ever stumble on a shop that's not as dedicated and understanding as this guy was, you might have to live with a crooked wing on your hatch.
