I am concerned with replacing the panels. I am concerned they will pucker or not fit just right and the lip is an added learning curve. I have read a thread where aerowood shows a tool he made for bending the edge. The trailer I can afford is a fixer. I know it is much better to spend the extra on an original less beat down one but I have more time than $$$ at the moment.
