Soooo been busy today, the vinyl on the roof panel behind the sunrrof had come unstuck so whilst fixing the sunroof I wipped it off for some tlc of its own.


Can you guess how many pegs are being used here ?

I bought a set of clamps to do that job, worked a treat, be interesting to see if pegs have enough pressure. 187.
 
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of glue did you use?
I did mine with upholsterers spray glue.
 
I repaired mine a few weeks ago and used Evo Stick contact adhesive leave it dry then push together no need for clamps or pegs it just sticks but you only get one go at it.
 

Dont need to guess as you've used quite a good picture !


No i havnt got time to count them im too busy reading forum posts, i mean working [:D]

Some people are quite close with their guessing. I used gorilla glue, be warned its messy as you have to activate with a damp surface.

I previously tried spray glue but it kept coming unstuck.

 
I need to do the same with mine. It was starting to come slightly loose, so I peeled it back and used spray glue to re-stick it. That was a bad idea because it's worse than it was before now!

Yep thats the problem I had, hence the gorilla glue and pegs, yes its messy but it has worked a treat.

If anyone can guess right I will send you the cheapo pegs [;)]

 
I've done exactly the same with my roof panel. Three times. And decided that clothespegs didn't exert enough force, so used metal springy document clips.

For reference, spray glue wasn't strong enough and either was EvoStik contact adhesive. No More Nails was the last stuff I used, and that's held for the last 18 months (which is 12 months more than the other two.) It's not pretty ast all, but all the ugliness hides behind the panel so you can't see it.

Clothespegs in the picture? I'll guess 200.

Did these mark the edges (which type did you use?) I still have the roof panel to do as im changing it from dark blue to the linen colour.

j4mou, i'd need a lot of super glue [:-]
 
Scott,

Two types, like these:

No, they didn't permanently mark the edge; they left an indentation once removed, but the vinyl was springy enough for the indentation to disappear over a couple of days.

ETA: The first type (above) is Porsche Workshop Tool CLIP001 and the second (with the folding handles) is Porsche Workshop Tool CLIP002. Bob, Porsche updated all workshop tools made of wood sometime around 1968 ...
