Hi all. I've gotten myself into a pickle with the interior "gutter" shelf that is mounted above the counter behind the driver. I had to remove it to get to the curtain hardware to remove the curtains, and now I can't get it to go back in. There's a lip on the "gutter" that is supposed to hook into a channel mounted along the roof. Is there a trick to it that someone can point me to? Photo below. Thanks!

| I don't recall it being that out of the ordinary. I think you just hook one lip into the other and then tilt it into position and install the two screws one on each end. |

I can't help with your van question but I do find that balsam fir incense to be much too pungent to enjoy in the van. I can't even burn a whole stick of it in my house

The picture above does not help me understand what the problem is. This should be something very simple, I've done it many times. The Bentley has a description on how to install and remove this unit.
Maybe you can post a more explanatory pic? Just take your time, be patient and make sure nothing is obstructing the overlap of the galley or gutter lip as it goes up against the metal roof. Check the back end of the gutter to make sure it does not hit the closet.
