bottom repair panel for convertible, reversed flange?

Post by Budgie »

Right I may be swallowing my pride on this one seeing as I'm a toolmaker by trade [although in my defence I haven't practiced the "art" for over 30 years!]I have just received my bottom door repair panel from ESM and to me it seems as if the flanges are on the wrong side in so much as they are facing outwards as opposed to what would logically be inwards. Any one out there had the same experience...or am I wrong?

Hi

If its the underside repair panel the flange with the three drain holes in should be downwards if that helps?
