Vinyl top is on

[Juan Veldez]

Did it myself with two helpers. None of us did one before. Thank God for YouTube. A little more trimming and glue around the openings and done! Serious pucker factor at start - whew.

Awesome! I did my first one several years ago, and it took me a few days just to get bold enough to get it done.

LOOKS real good.Good job. So it looks like we got the vinyl top market cornered from east coast to west coast.

To clarify. The vinyl does not wrap down below the drip rail, it is cut right at the edge?

If i remember right from when i did mine, i was able to wrap enough material around, and cover The drip rail. The molding then goes over the top of the material.

I guess the answer is if the trim fits with the vinyl wrapped around the lower part of the drip rail, leave it. If it doesn't, cut it at the rail. That's my task later this afternoon. I'll give my verdict then.

Vinyl trimmed at the drip rail. Too tight to wrap around.

Thank you. It came out better than I could have hoped. Rolling it outside on a sunny/hot day I believe was the saving grace. No heat gun/steamer required.
