Forgot to say that I still have the set of steel parts with the snap on cov=
ers to hold the ceiling panels in place. An owner had requested that I but=
this from a fellow GMCer and bring it to him at a rally. I bought the set=
for $10 and hauled it to the rally only to be told by the other GMcer that=
he decided that he didn=E2=80=99t need it. I still have it and would =
like to get my $10 back. If anyone needs it let me know. Emery Stora=

over the edge of the aluminum rails on the GMC cable tray at the top of the=
walls. It is made from white PVC and also comes in other colors or may be=

n 6 foot lengths. The web site is:
http://www.panduit.com/ . Do a parts search on "C3WH6" and you can see the picture and =
cut sheets. The GMC rails measure 18 feet each, so you need a box of 6 cov=
ers to do the job. If you jsut need to do the small section over the door,=
try a local electrical supply house. When in place, the cover fits very t=
ightly and curves slightly concave. You will probably have to start a corn=
er and then use a wooden block and a hammer to snap it over the edges of yo=
ur GMC rails. If you want to finish the cover in some other cover, or a fa=
bric, you should do so before final attachment. > =E2=80=94=E2=80=94=
