Bomb drop\drop hang

Not the best video in the world but I've been working on this technique. This is the first time doing it with the panel and sweep still in. Just need to work on my placement and I think I'll have this thing down.

Did you pull gaskets on this?

Getting there bud! I will post a couple here for ya! I call it bottom feeding or bottom loading. Very good prep! :-)

I will post a rear as well due to the added difficulty:-)

Nope. Nothing pulled. Only thing you may notice missing is a plastic trim piece. It's my car and I lost the rivot that goes in the back of it. That's the only reason it's off.

I must say. That came out rather well with that method, from what I could tell. Interesting. Very nice Sir.

yeah checked it this morning. I counted 5 pieces of felt in it. Ironically that was where it hung up a little. I think if you get a smooth drop with no snags it would be fine.

Nicely done there. :cool

That's exactly how I do the bottom in first, learned that method entering installation in 1980. Learned the top on first method as a film sales rep in 1996. Once both are polished in technique you will begin to alternate between them and recognize when one will suit a particular car better than the other.

To avoid top edge snags, wait a tad longer to flip the top or in other words take the bottom half of the pattern down a little more. You can gauge it by slowly moving one top corner to the glass to check your distance from the glass edge. Re-wet where needed. Also, just before going to the board for your pattern give the top edge area another spray. Gravity will muck you up, sir.
