Fitting flexi arches

<< < (2/2)

Mighty_zuke:
Fronts are easy.... hold up in the right place draw underneath and then cut just above the line (Or as you'll be thinking OMG How much???? Cut a bit at a time and keep double checking!). Then when you've cut enough away pilot drill the arch and wing and screw it up!

Backs are slightly harder..... I fitted the rear section first, lign it up as you did the front keeping the top level with ( but not necessarily on) the line in the body work. Again draw underneath and cut and fit as you did on the front.

Then for the door!!!!! hold up and lign up with rear section and mark as before. Cut with someone holding the door open. I did this from the outside then transfered the cut into the inside and cut it again on the right line. Then when you close the door draw on the arch open the door and cut the arch. Then fit the arch....


Then I used expanding foam on the inside of the door to fill any gaps covered with sealant and painted to match the car.

All you have to do then is exactly the same on the other side!

Simples ;)
