Can you see me now? I had a heck of a time trying to get them to stick. I ended up using headliner spray glue. What have others used?

That looks great. I can imagine that it would be difficult if they aren't pre-glued.

They had 3M tape but would not stick to the covers:dontknow:

The surfaces the 3M tape stick to have to be extremely clean and dry. If you do not have a primer, I use alcohol to wipe the area first. Let it dry thoroughly. It doesn't really take long with the alcohol. When I did mine, the outer ends refused to stay down. I used a very small Ty-wrap through a small hole I drilled in the plastic.

I used both and it still would not hold. I used Permatex heavy duty headliner & carpet glue spray on the 3M tape and cover edge. Let it dry for 5min and stuck it on. Had to keep pressing it for about an hour intermittently and let it dry over night when it seemed to hold well. It is a little tough to clean up I kept rolling the over spray with my fingers till it balled up but it sure looks like it ain't going anywhere now. Hopefully the wind will keep it pressed to the cover. :thumbup:

I also have set of A-frame lights to be installed when I bring in the :spyder2: for its 3000 mile service in a week or so. Extra lights are a great accessory.

The Tricled 2 wire splice plug makes it easy to add the wiring. Unbolt 2 front screws on the top cover and lift it to put the splice and wrapped wires taped together in a bundle.:thumbup:

You can't have too many lights; or too much money in the Farkling Account! :congrats: :2thumbs:
