    Hi David
    I don't use the small hinged side door much but the removable turtle deck section is really handy. I added an additional baggage sack for bulky light items leaving the forward one free for heavy stuff.
    Good luck with the doors. The horizontal bar on the door frame is bowed out slightly requiring a bit of compound bending on the window material.
    Cheers Don

    How do you use a side baggage door when the baggage sack (factory) completely covers both sides? I suppose you modify or make your own sack with velcro side panel?

    FWIW, there is no compound bending needed on my doors... it is a simple flat bend.

    What you did on your Vixen looks very nice, Don!
