Found out that Partsouq is down for 2 weeks....so nothing goes out. Was hoping to get the rear window runs in so we could finish them up and install. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit. Plenty to do so no biggie.
Looking better and better every day.
Had a chance to do the headliner today...another big job I wanted to get done. I used a product called Thermozite....bought it here:
Neat material. Allows for some stretch so it was nice to tuck in the corners. Made from recycled bottles.
I had bought a proper spray gun for this job....just like the pro guys use. I've always used cans of 3M spray adhesive....this was easier and I plan on doing some more with it. Used a pretty standard contact adhesive.
Sprayed both surfaces

Then we started laying it in. I started with the center and worked towards the edges. A little tricky getting glue in the edges but we managed. I think I could have a career as a glue sprayer. Probably not a career as an installer. Very challenging.

The seams get covered by the roof supports....they're wide so we had a lot of room to get the seams where we wanted them. Between the Damplifier Pro, the Spectrum and now this covering, we're going to have zero room between the supports and the roof. Supports go in tomorrow.

Is the dappled appearance on the roof due to the contact adhesive or the Spectrum?
That material looks super nice.
Back on Troopy the last few days. DHL was kind enough to drop off our Partsouq order that contained the stuff we needed to finish these.
What a monumental pain in the ass this first slider window was. Wow. By the second one, we had it done in 5 minutes I think. All new glass, all new parts.....satin black powder coated frames.

Used some butyl to seal things up. There was ZERO sealant on the windows when we removed them.

The inside trim locks the frames in big time. Cool setup with how serviceable they are are.

I love installing new glass in our builds.....I know what to be prepared for.....I'm never prepared. I'm always amazed at just how nice it makes things.

I REALLY like how your roof/headliner solution went. I'm going to flagrantly steal most of this... already have the Spectrum.
Like the solution for the rear panels, looks great and gives great access to the space withouth having to remove the panels. How did you manage to screw the panels to the body? Rivnuts?
