Default Not a good day.

Note to self, raise the roll up door all the way or put the hatch down when pulling out the boat!
This did not make me happy!

Sorry that happened. Did something similar a long time ago with a company car. Was parked in a huge warehouse to get tools out of trunk and backed the car up with the driver's door open. Hit a crate that was was 3500 lbs and only 20" tall, just tall enough to snag the bottom edge of the door. Door folded back..It was not a good call to my supervisor to explain what happened. I would have covered the cost to fix it myself because of my embarrassing situation, but had no choice but to disclose it to the company. Cost to repair was NOT worth the riding I got from co-workers for months.

Dropped them off at the upholstery shop and he said he should be able to do both hatches by Saturday. I hope they match, or close. He has done a bunch of work for me but this is my baby.
