Decking preventing bow chairs from fully extending.

[Jclima]

I installed Raptor decking on my C-302 earlier this year just to realize 6 months later that the decking prevents the chair from fully extending flush with the deck. Sitting on them would cause the hinges to break. Has anyone solved this problem? decking company offered to remove the foam from the top and behind the chair but I think it will make it look weird. I also thought about ways I could modify the hinges but it would likely cause alignment issues at the latch. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
