[C320-list] Installing Hatch Tape

[Chris Holt]

Hi Bert,

I have hull #447.  I did not have to remove that to replace the hatch tape.
My tape was already badly peeling so I pulled it off, cleaned the surface, 
and reapplied the tape.  I'm not sure why yours goes so far back but for 
reapplying it I just lifted the hatch and fed a piece of tape back about 1 
inch past where the hatch slides back to and it works great now and looks 
much better.

Hope this helps,

Chris
