    Fantastic stuff! Glad to see you are putting all that hard work to use. I understand your point about posting location details. It's a terrible shame for what inconsiderate slobs we humans can be.

    Sorry. No help with the adhesive here. I'm very interested in the fabric though. I don't suppose you have the dimensions handy for your application. I'm sure your truck would be the only one to need that exact size but for someone like me it would give a rough estimate for sourcing materials...

The noise and heat insulation were pretty good but unfortunately the glue did not last more than a few years. Not sure if the foam expanded/contracted at different rates than the hard top or if the glue...

    As long as they are aluminum rivets, you should be able to drill them out from the top side without any damage. If it were me, I'd figure that would be a bit easier than grinding. Great build! I'm watching with great enthusiasm. Taking notes while I'm at it too. Best wishes for your partner's...
