    I have covered the roof of my 29 'AA' but need some help getting over the front corners. The attached picture shows where i stopped gluing! The material is the usual roof vinyl with a heavy woven backing.
    Need good suggestions on how to heat? cut? stretch? to get the curve done.

    Have you tried a heat gun?
     
  3. A heat gun helps but you need a good pair of stretcher pliers to pull the material. HRP
