i do have a bunch of pictures from the hatch, Ganmain. all the bolts holding the hatch on came lose no problem. the rubber was intact and came apart with out ripping. the hatch had a gasket on both sides of the roof. orange and kinda like a canvas with rubber impregnated in to it. the top gasket was pressed pretty flat but the bottom gasket was still it's original thickness, 1/8"or 3mm. each gasket was made from 4 pieces. there was a steel backer for the bottom gasket. the hatch door gasket was also in good shape. that was made from a thick black rubber. it too was made from 4 pieces but they were glued together.
