Hmmmm, high top condo with a hopper... Could be some low clearance issues! I've seen some pics of some bad ones before! Hope the Pete is OK!

Rob I hope it is something that can be fixed.

did you have to let the air out of the tires?

Outside in.
Had to pull under an auger to load fertilizer. It was a tight turn before that, then had to pull back a few times to line up. Just the way it was set up. I checked the height of the loader and it was fine, consulted all 6 of my mirrors the whole time. But I forgot about the 45 degree part coming up from the ground before it gets to the straight loader part.
I heard the crunch. It probably wouldn't have been that bad at that point but I backed up real quick. It must have been right between the cab and the stack at that point because it peeled my roof forward.
It's about a 1 1/2 to 2 square foot area of tears and about a foot rectangle that peeled back but was still attached on one end.
They had a ladder and gorilla tape. I flattened it all back down, 409'd the area clean and taped the heck out of it.
I'm officially ghetto now.
I really thought I was over the stupid stuff, and I've been whispering to myself to be careful and take it slow both days I've been back out since things need to be perfect.
I think it will hold for now but I have to figure out a way to water-proof it by the next rain if possible. -
Sorry to read of your unintended sunroof.
Got to be pretty darn frustrating to say the very least.
Hang in there Pharm... -
Are you able to get silicon in the area of the wound?
-
Can you cut it clean and install some glass? Might as well make it a true sunroof..
