Well out with the sticky white stuff :lol:
last time this will be seen
Image
and just a thought but these tops are double skin there is the possibility that leaks and condensation are hidden from view so we need to have a think about this
Image
so on with applying the white stuff, this is across the front, its been applied to the area as seen as it will be squezed forward as the roof is lowered and the front steel lip is turned over
Image
roof has dropped down nice into the new gutter
Image
inner front corner i have checked round and it has as far as i can tell bonded all the way round
Image
along the side
Image
and this is the osr where the lip was missing,
Image
i will now add more to the insides and then a bead where required on the outside and finnish it of neat, main thing to achieve here was a good bond,
mm :D
