New to the Jayco family. Just recently purchased a 2021 Jayco Alante 27A. Sold a 2000 Fleetwood Bounder 32H. On my Jayco the stovetop cover doesn't fold up like my Fleetwood did. I've tried folding it in both directions. Neither get the cover out of the way for the back two burners. What am I doing wrong. Or are the hinges on the wrong side of the glass.

Fixed, I think.

Turns out the hinges were very badly bent. Took them off, into the shop. Clamped in the vise. lightly tapped them back into shape. they'll work until the new ones arrive.

Happy to see you figured it out yourself!

My older rig has a metal cover and the hinges have a tendency to bend on it also if not being gentle when closing it.

Where did you find the hinges?
