Rear package shelf question

A quick question: when you have the roof up in your 55, is the rear package shelf (behind the roll bars) flat and flush with the panel the roll bars rise from, or does it tilt down and tuck under that panel?

When I have the roof down, the panel sits flat -- but with the roof up, it's tilted under the roll bar panel.

Thanks for any observations,

Gary

It's slightly tilted down like you mentioned with the roof up. This is normal and they way that it was built. Oh, and don't use that rear deck for placing stuff on top of it, it wasn't built to hold heavy stuff, and can be nasty if you start operating the roof when you've got something sitting on top of it.

Thanks

Thanks, Shinigami. I'll definitely avoid placing anything on the shelf -- it may be called a "package" shelf, but it won't be for me!
