Panels
- The panels from existing SD models will fit new SD models.
- The footprint of the dispenser changed, and the appearance of the panel around the dispenser may not look like the rest of the custom panel.
- Some ghosting may be visible on the panel.
- If a thicker panel was routed to work with the old dispenser, the new dispenser will work. However, it may not be the same flush look.
- Old dispenser has a curved front surface. The new dispenser is flat.
- New custom panels may be needed depending on cutout and possible ghosting.
