Using project debut dust cover unhinged?

[balkan]

Hi my project debut sits on a surface with a shelf overhead that does not allow full opening of the dust cover. I think the best solution is to unhinge the cover and just move it away completely when not in use.

I do a similar thing with my Thorens TD 166 but that turntable is modified and has an acrylic cover with rubber bumpons attached to the corner edges that touch the plinth, preventing the cover from slipping around and scratching the plinth. With the project the edges are too thin for that and the front corners already have hard plastic bumps. I was thinking is there a type of bumper or bumper tape that would wrap around the edge of the dust cover and serve a similar purpose? Or maybe some other solution?

Suggestions most appreciated!

I used to have a Project Xpression ll. I removed the cover permanently for sound preference. (to my ears it did make a difference) I would carefully place it over when not using.
I have now got a very expensive Clearaudio TT. It does not have a fitted cover. I bought one (cover that is) that fits over the whole TT, has small cut outs for cable. Put over when not using.

Thanks - what you did with your project is what I’m doing now. I was thinking of upgrading at some point and the clearaudio looks cool. I had also seen those kinds of covers. My turntable shelf is only 14” deep which is another limiting factor.
