Default Raptor Liner on the hardtop

Well after a year of using the hardtop to get the kayaks around, there were some gouges and a ton of scratches. A little glazing putty, sanding and elbow grease got it back to new. Looks better than stock to me.

Just to clarify, the scratches and gouges came from me being cheap and getting a "sport rack" gutter mount roof rack. It didn't fit properly so I took it upon myself to "make it fit". Lesson learned. Now I have a Rhino Rack gutter mount rack and it fits perfect.

Came out good. Raptor liner is a great alternative to paying someone an outrageous price for line ex. If it gets dirty just take a scrub brush and some simple green and it will clean up good as new. My stuff looks the same as it did for 3 years now.

I only did the outside. For some weird reason I kinda like the white but I do have plans for a black insulation/headliner kit in the future.

I actually only used two bottles for the entire top and did it all at once. No waiting between coats. I'd just start on one side and by the time I had covered it all I started over. I was worried about waiting too long to remove the tape. This thing was actually dry enough to grab and move around after a few hours.
