1: the top of the trunk is so irregular mine wouldn't seal with the thin gasket. 2: winch is a cheep Harbor Freight atv winch and works great. I had it in the third pulley but it was too slow and the winch has plenty of power on its own. 3: I just never got around to removing the hanging block. figure if the winch or battery ever died....... 4: the "white bag" is my main sail in the cover bag and on the boom

5: are you sure the hole in the top of your trunk isn't where it leaks?? 6: my cushions were in such good shape I just kept them. I like the retro look lol 7: Hatch cover is factory fiberglass.
BTW. you're not missing much by not having a manual. it's about as useful as the directions on a shampoo bottle LOL.
