[QUOTE="faux, post: 238163, member: 718"] Thanks Peter, I don't think this would help because if you use the head rest bar you would need to fix your bed to the roof due to the nature of the design. And because the original continental bed is shorter than our design you would then have problems with it lifting out of the way when not in use and the bed rests would hit the pop top struts. Also the foot cushion would need to be quite a bit wider to fill the extra gap left by moving the bed up! The reason we have changed the design slightly is that I have an original bed and it just didn't work properly. I would love to have kept the original and fitted it but I am really fussy and wanted it to work properly, without the frustrations of it knocking off the sunroof hole trim every time the bed went up and having to slide it back and forth to avoid the struts. I do know quite a few people with original beds that have adapted them to work ok but this project was about sympathetically adjusting the design to keep the aesthetics but remove the small glitches. I think we have done it. [/QUOTE]
