I've told people you can make these and they just laughed!

If you use a sill jack you can wind it out and gradually fold the lip back.

Also make an attachment for a heat gun = no more cracked paint.

Cheers for the reply peeps.

Ade, we were gonna use that method but we thought that using a pivot at one end and a threaded rod at the other to pull the arm towards u would be just as good, therefore u can roll it up in stages :wink:

Good idea for the heat gun tho chap :D

BTW Jon, call him that next time u see him, he gets it all the time at work :lol: :lol:
Cheers Bridger :D
