The side pieces for my companionway hood are a couple of inches too long, as cut out according to the pattern supplied. Is this a normal 'feature' of the kit?
Cheers!

So I used the pattern to cut the front of the hood. After dry fitting the slide into the hood, the math just didn't add up and it was too narrow!
Now the hood width should be 30-5/8". If you subtract the 1.5" of the two side hood pieces, you get 29-1/8". So the front template is 3/8" too short.
