Note at the bottom left corner there is some black-colored epoxy. This is where the rod did not fully fit into the radius and some black epoxy was pushed down in that gap. Later, when sanding, you can feel safe removing that black epoxy and rebuilding the original radius.]] | [[File:2025-07-28 14.46.08.jpg|none|thumb|Side windows after joggle depth increased.
