Title: Fitting Windlace Post by: sharpeidog on February 07, 2011, 06:02:34 AM G'day all.
Quick question about windlace. What is the best way to fit the windlace down the front of the door opening on the front doors on the FC Special, i.e. near the kick panels? I have it fitted o.k. around the headlining, but curious as to the best way to fix it into the groove at the front of the door opening? I have heard it's best to "glue" it in there, but I have also heard that is supposed to be fixed into the groove using some sort of piping slid down the groove to secure it? Appreciate any advice..... Cheers.

This continuous edge can then be fed into the top of the dash & then gently pulled down into place. This enables easy removal if necessary. Glueing would be difficult, messy and very difficult to remove. Cheers Old-Blu

So make sure you clean that gutter out with a scribe or pointer. |
