[C320-list] Gaps around Fridge Lid

[Robert Seastream]

I haven't half your experience in these boats, but here's my thoughts:

Given the investment involved in such a boat, rather than 'dealer 
tweaking' I'd insist on replacement lids, checking their fit before 
accepting them.
I doubt that Catalina would agree with your dealer.  You could call and 
ask.  If his comments on the replacement lids being from the same mold 
is true, then all future C32 fridge lids would have the same inferior 
fit.  If so, I'd be thinking twice before recommending the boat to 
prospective buyers.  That sort of talk travels, and I'd like to believe 
that Catalina wouldn't want to risk damage to their reputation.
