John, I did the same thing on my Invader ultralight. I used a strip of packing tape across the gap to give the support. Then you lay on the glass/plastic lamination and allow to finish curing. Remove the overlay and tape as Dan explained. Bill Jeffries --- Dan Heath wrote: > It did sag just

Oscar, My recommendation is to go to the FBO and befriend a mechanic there and either have him show you how they work or have him install them for you. If you don't have many to install, it would be cheaper in the long run to have it done for you. Bill Jeffries __
