There isn't enough room for the entire plate to swing up and down to open and close for hot and cold months. BUT what WILL work is if you fabricate a plate that will hinge half way up the plate. I was going to initially jb weld the top hinge to the mounting bracket but the cooler sticks out farter than the top bracket so thats a no go. so I used a couple of zip ties to hold the top hinge to the bracket and put approx 6 in velco strip along the vertical portions of my cooler. Hope that this helps with anyone else trying to fab up a decent plate.
