I am doing a lot of work on the interior of the coach and was wondering if there are any issues with cutting the engine hatch into two parts and connecting them with a piano hinge. I would cut the rear most part smaller than the front most part so it would fold up and then could be lifted as a shorter piece. I would also put a strip of weather stripping in between the two pieces so it would seal up nice and tight. It seems like a good idea but I have not heard of anyone doing this. Am I missing something or is this a practical idea.

TIA
