Just pull them up? What?! That makes too much sense! I like to look like an idiot for as long as possible and now you've ruined it.
Thanks for the tip Bear911. I guess I was just being a little too timid not wanting to force them. They're up and looking soooo much better.
As for the sliding; I haven't tried to put anything back there but I would imagine it can be done with a little shucking and jiving. I think GTS makes a tilting bracket as well. If your handy you can probably fab something with hinges.
