Duraplex application...


Once the windshield was cut out and the edges were sanded a special 1" wide double sided tape was applied around the outside edge. The protective paper was removed and the windshield was applied to the vinyl very carefully. The vinyl already had the boltrope (this allows the section to be slipped into the casing on the top of the hardtop) at the top and all the zippers installed.
....
Next, I had to apply the inside vinyl gluing it to the double sided tape on the inside, turn all the seams and sew the two pieces of vinyl together sandwiching the Duraplex. WHEW!


As you can see from this picture, this front section is huge. Mark had to help lift the silly thing and hold it while I did the sewing. Once this section was done the others were easier.
