I've got everything trimmed except the area around the left door.  The bottom of the left door opening looks like it needs to be trimmed another 1/8 in?  This will allow the top to drop the 1/8 in needed in the area just behind the door.  My concern is making the area on the bottom of the door too thin.  Perhaps I'm overly concerned, since there will be filling done in that area.  



Looking for ideas from those who have been through this, already.

Thanks

How thin will it end up if you take off that last 1/8"?  There's not much if any of the vertical  flange left by the time you're done.  You may even end up taking off material from the bottom of the horizontal portion, that is, the section with the bevel on the outboard edge.  Look at the entire surface across the bottom where the cabin cover bolts to the door sill and make sure you don't have a high spot that's interfering and keeping the cover from settling down to onto the sill.

Man you guys with the pink tops sure have it nice.  I was laughing to myself on the index mark conversation earlier that I couldn't even see 3 of the marks on. Y doors.

It's hard to tell because the pictures are way too big. From what I can tell, you are safe to cut that 1/8".
