I spent the good part of a day fitting the facctory supplied dust cover

over the

IP in my 360.  It's a full panel positioned a little further aft than

normal due

to canopy clearance req's and knee room.  I've had to cut the dust cover

severely to fit including holes to clear bits of the radio stack.  In

addition,

the left canopy gas strut (forward hinge canopy system) interferes with the

panel in the closed position while the right one has a small amount of

clearance

(before the dust cover is put in place).  



Have others out there had similar headaches with the dust cover and gas

struts?

Any tips on how to best resolve?  Also, how have some of you attached the dust

cover to the panel to keep it in place without having exposed screws?
