To cut a long story short - I have tried
installing the T-panel and fails everytime.
I've tried silicone under the T-panel w/weight
on top of that, and have let it cured for 24hrs. It is perfectly in place
between the doors, and the doors don't rub the edges etc (I use a textmarker
when I take the T-panel off)
Still, after a day or two of driving, the
T-panel "bounces upwards" like a bridge. Then I let the car stands still for a
few days and did the procedure again. The T-panel still pops
up in the middle. I can put my hand on top of the T-panel and press it down
about a cm.
It holds down in the front and the rear of the
panel. Yet I can't manage to secure it properly in the middle with silicone so
that it is aligned with the rooftop of the doors. The T-panel is still
"over" the doors a bit, when viewed across the car. Very annoying and
irritating.
Somehow the silicone doesn't work as it
should, yet it is quality stuff, and as far I know the only way to
re-attach a T-panel. What can be the cause? Could the T-panel be
bent/distorted, or can I do anything with the old strips of
adhesive/foam?
I'm just about this close to buy a completely
new T-panel, but I thought I'd hear with the list of what you think can be the
cause. The T-panel will simply not hold down.
Please help,
