These spacers fit between the hinge and the pop top. I had the same problem
with a skylight from GoWesty - I didn't see any need for the spacers that
were included. Called him and all was cleared up. DO NOT bend the hinges -
they will be a bear to realign and will probably leak. My best advice - call
skylightguy and get the spacers or call GoWesty - he has them. Good luck -
