nice job I like it. do you know what temp the 3m super 77 will hold up to as it gets -30 -40 here

There is no mention on the can about temperature range or minimum temp for application. (do not store can above 120*F) It does, however, say "Not for use on Expanded Polystyrene foam or Automotive Headliners" The stuff I used is polyisocyanurate foam (and I tested it on a scrap to make sure it didn't dissolve), but I don't know WTF the "headliner" restriction is about... I'd guess summer time temps may be too much, but I dunno.

We'll see what happens... I don't run the hard top when it's hot, so I hope that's it.

Re: the low temps, I think hot temps usually result in adhesive failure, more so than cold temps, but don't take my word for it

That is awesome! Chrysler should do that in the 2012 ... and pay you some royalties!

I got to say, LOOKS GREAT The Jeep print is just a pluss.

My only consern would be the effect of hot and cold temps on the glue after time. How long have you had them installed ?

Now hot heads is pissed at you!!! They're having a 20% off sale!

I don't run the hardtop in the summer, so heat is not an issue for me. If I did, I definitely would have done more research on adhesives. I'm sure the 77 will do fine in the cold. I've only been running them for about two weeks.


That is too funny. The side panels that they sell for the rear window are SLICK, though. I think I'll have enough of my fabric left over to do something similar. I'll probably buy a thinner chunk of insulation, as the channels around the side windows are not as deep as the recesses on the top.

I'll get to the rear panels one of these days....

Where did you get the fabric from? Local craft store or online?

joelmahoney

Couldn't remember where... Searched my email to find order confirmation. Got it at Beverly's... a Calif-based fabric store chain that sells mail order. I also did a Google search and found there is a TAN version of the same fabric available. I searched images for Jeep Fabric.
