  Installation Tip

  Never install a fresh vinyl top over a roof panel that has not been completely stripped, prepped, and epoxy-primed. Original factory builds often left bare or minimally painted metal beneath the vinyl layer, making the roof highly susceptible to localized rust pitting. Scrape away all old adhesive residues, treat any hidden surface corrosion, and apply a high-quality automotive primer before layout stretching. When applying the contact adhesive, lay the vinyl out from the center deck line outward to the side pillars, smoothing with heavy plastic spreaders to permanently eliminate air pockets or lifting wrinkles.
