I've been thinking that I might have to remove a few(or all) of those shim strips on each rib behind the long upper curved interior panels. I read that they are there to prevent a crease where the long panel overlaps the much thicker plastic end caps. Thickness of plastic cap - thickness of new cap(.038) = x to be removed from shim stacks. Or am I just taking this too far?
At first I removed those shims thinking the same thing . By the time all the end pieces where in place with their overlap and the vinyl J trim I had to put them back in so the ceiling and side panel didn't buckle . You can get an idea if it is going to line up by using a long straight edge across several ribs to see how it hits the new end panels . Those long side panels don't like a compound curve .
