Well, about 3 years ago, I saw a some info on this mod. Unfortunately, it no longer exists (as far as I can tell). SJudson originally did this a few years back, so I can't take credit for the idea. Here are some pics, and info to follow. After getting my Snugtop this month, I really missed having my side box storage. So, a few trips to the boat store to find the hatch covers, and I was ready. Unfortunately, I meant to pre mark where the boxes were, from the inside, so I would have an idea where to cut. I never got around to it, so, I guessed and started cutting. Got lucky and hit the right locations. Cutting the metal was the easiest, the 2 layers of plastic were the worst. I used regular boat hatch covers for the holes. Everything went fairly easy, no big suprises. I did put one coat of Gatorback Black on them before calling it quits. To dark for painted pics, but I will get some tomorrow with the second coat on it.
