[QUOTE="ramos, post: 7034407, member: 540858"] My first thought would be. can you smooth the curves a little more? It will make your life easier in the end. Use a good high temp contact adhesive. I use dap hhr on large jobs or this [URL="http://www.yourautotrim.com/perhittrimad.html"]Performance Hi-Temp Trim Spray Adhesive[/URL] on smaller jobs such as yours. Use a hair dryer to soften up the vinyl without melting holes in it. I go about things wierd, but I would start right on top of your tweeter baffle, then work your way around it stretching out the wrinkles as you go. I **** at upholstery, and even I can wrap pillars lol. It's actually a pretty good part to learn with. Most importantly though, take your time. I'll post a couple pics to show you what I mean by smoothing the curves. Notice the tweeters seem to flow into the rest of the panel and not stick out like a ****** or something. Makes wrapping a lot easier that way [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/moyerme/0708091508.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/moyerme/0708091510.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
