Re: [DML] Re-attaching the T-panel - Help!



The Bricklin world has a major problem keeping the "skins" from separating from the metal. My unit had separation at the doors, had been repaired with silicone, not the right stuff, had come apart big time...silicone stuck to one side but not the other. Biggest problem was
getting the old silicone off (used a narrow rotary wire brush on a drill motor). Consensus adhesive is black urethane used by glass shops to install windshields, take a lesson from the Brick folks.
