Funnily enough, this is *exactly* what I was planning on doing!
Seemed a really nice idea to me - were I to do it however I'd likely use
truck anti-sail flap material (1/2" thick neoprene).

None, the truck comes standard with the hole. You see, there is this little
thing about the bulkhead being made to be either LHD or RHD and the kodiak
uses one of these holes... ;-)
So it seems, either forget the distortion (just wrench it to shape) or bolt
some HD channel to the thing to keep it straight. Considering how many
folks have done this now, I guess it sounds reasonably safe. Not quite sure
I am ready for the galvanized bulkhead look yet. I will have to think about
that one...

'Cause what I am planning on doing shouldn't take more than a couple of
hours to do. Besides, there are already drain holes that let some of the
water into the footwell...
