    how do you stretch it out and tuck the vinyl for the rear window

    • @66Gordo
      @66Gordo  4 роки тому +2

      I put some heat on the vinyl with a heat gun to stretch it. Then tuck it

    • @carljay4021

      So you just apply your adhesive and stretch and tuck it behind the plastic on the rear window any tips like starting from the front starting from the back in the middle

    I recently had my vinyl top done, which it's done great but iffy about him tucking the vinyl under the trim on the sides. Before my trim was nicely firm on the body, now it's literally sitting ontop of the vinyl and you can see it sticking out. I wanted to ask if that's the proper way to have it? I hate how sloppy it looks.

    • @66Gordo
      @66Gordo  3 роки тому +1

      You think he would have trimmed it down so it wouldn't be sticking out the side. You might want to check the clips on the trim and see if any are broke. They become brittle and he may have broken a couple while taken them off. That would make it not be secure completely. Just a thought. Thanks for watching and commenting

    • @javierbautista3244
      @javierbautista3244 3 роки тому

      Yeah I was thinking that, on that note he did let me know that the corner trim clips did break. So he pretty much drilled them in to stay sturdy. I might just purchase a new set and install them in myself. Do you think I should slit the vinyl with a razor that way it cuts off literally at the trims so that the vinyl isn't under the trim?

      Did you mean the trim? On top? Usually you can slide it off or else pry one of the sides. Lots of times the plastic pieces holding the trim on may be brittle so becareful but you Usually end up breaking one or two. You can buy new ones though. Hopefully that helps

    • @66Gordo
      @66Gordo  3 роки тому +1

      Some people like the viynl cause it's easier to clean and repels elements somewhat better. It is harder to repair and will likely need replaced if it rips or tears though. Cloth absorbs dirt or other elements but can usually be repaired instead of replaced. Both usually last by how they are treated and the elements they are in. If they are taken care of and garaged they last awhile.

      If you mean to remove the vinyl roof and make it a hardtop, you need more then just grinding rivets off. You’ll need the rear window trim from a non vinyl roof car, quarter glass from non vinyl roof car, you’ll need to remove the rear glass and add rivets on the inside lip for plastic pieces that mount your hard top rear window trim. Plus fix all the imperfect seams that the factory didn’t make pretty. It’s a lot of work.
