Tad confused yes you will see them the trick is to stretch it nice and tight and i like to use staples to hold it in place, i dont know of any other way that works, ive tryed spray adhesive but it turns into a goo when the resin is applied and lets go Quote Jeep Wrangler TJ Hardtop Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
