I think it must of been a tight sliding fit as I'm unsure how it was stopped from sliding back out?

Kev.

Without the luxury of a cover I can't trial fit but I think if you put the cover in 'curved side up' the lip on the bottom might slide over, then drop behind, the battens. Gravity and the wood would hold it in place until you lifted he lip over the wood and out to remove it.

ps. did you get the c/u backing plate? I need a warm day to sketch up the rest.
