Default Does this gap look ok to you?

Does the gap below the longeron look ok to you?

Looks like they cut the cover one rivet short. What's under the longeron? (might be normal for a slider)

If it bothers you, it would be very easy to drill out those pop rivets and install a new cover. But probably not needed or worth it.

Yep, it was cut off too short, maybe related to wiring above it. Recommend consulting Vans about this. It would be relatively easy to drill the rivets out and replace with a proper one. Look closely at the wiring above it first.
