This was done to get adequate canopy clearance since my radio stack goes right to the top and I have the EC-100 top left. Now that my interior is nearly done, I see that I have line-to-line contact between my knees and the bottom of the panel when I pull my feet back. This is too bad and, it seems, not correctable. I'm 5'11" tall. For those of you that haven't placed your seat back in yet, consider placing it further rearward than the manual suggests, perhaps an extra inch both at top and bottom. The bottom expecially drives the 'H-point' (automotive parlance for center of hip rotation) which sets up where your legs will be. If you are shorter, don't have a full panel or don't have a header tank, you'll be fine per the manual.
