We had a new camper top built for our 2003 340 in the spring. They did a great job, looks good but ... a couple things showed up that we haven't been able to resolve so I wanted to check with you guys to see if you can help out. The most significant issue is that they did not account for the aft starboard seat (part of the wrap-around rear seat) lifting with the engine hatch - it hits the tops support arms at a point that makes it impossible getting into the engine compartment. The only solution is removing the two rear support arms from the clips, which allows enough side movement to open the engine hatch. They have fiddled with it but really don't have any solution on how to permanently fix. Their response is that it is not uncommon to have to remove parts of the top to get into the engine compartment - I don't buy it! Has anyone else put a camper top on and able to open the hatch without any problems? Second issue is that on a cool damp evening, when we got up in the morning the glass had a distinct blue color. To the point that it was difficult to see through it. Any idea why it would turn color? I eventually went clear again!
