So I looked through the threads on this forum. Basically I've cut my foam, covered it in fabric, and first tried using 3M super 77 to adhere the panels to the hardtop.
Now here's how I prepped them:
Took the foil/ film layer off the foam and sanded the inside of hardtop and cleaned it with paint thinner for better adhesion.
Problem is the 3M super 77 didn't even start to hold the foam panels up, they all fell within 24 hours.
Did a little research on the Internet and found that some recommend the industrial Velcro so I ordered 15 feet of it from amazon. Seems legit it has some good adhesive and holds even as the Velcro tears away.
Got all done with the front panels and they're holding up but starting to sag in places where I don't have the Velcro. Not quite sure what's going on but it's almost like the heat warped the foam out of being straight.
Has anyone else done this project? Had any success with a type of adhesive or mounting method?
My understanding is even some of the hot heads and pre bought style dont have adequate adhesive to keep them up.....
