I just installed a roof ladder. Is this spacing normal? I don't have an OEM install to compare it to. I feel as though this should sit a lot more flush, but with the supplied spacers it sits out a fair bit. I feel a little silly asking for assistance on an install that's 2 screws and 2 bolts, but here we are haha.

 

Yes it is.

 

Thank you!

 

Yes mine has the same spacing.

 

Yes, it needs the room to flex when you are standing on it

 

Just watch the hinges. A lot of them have broken due to the poor quality of the plastic material on the hinges of the OEM ladder.
