Just thinking it would be a 45 minute job to take the covers off, evaluate the individual defects, and document them. Guess it had to be done. Glad it wasn't me.

I agree...one of those inspections where you have to number all the panel covers just to know which panel they go back on. Also it can be dangerous enough in removing one cover....let alone all these but someone's gotta do it......and take pictures to boot...
