27 Tudor hidem end caps or not
Hi all. I'm installing my 27 Tudor top. No rain gutters. Should I use the arrow shaped end caps? Where? Any photos from the past? Thanks, John

If you need an end cap use a square end black cap. The rain gutters are needed to get the right look and functional too.

If you have no rain gutters why would you need an end cap at all? Wouldn't you just continue the hidem all the way around the top?
As to the photo above, my '26 Fordor, which was my grandfather's from new, did not have end caps where the hidem meets the gutter. The hidem simply tucked under the end of the gutter maybe 1/4".

Thanks folks. I've researched many photos and concluded that there were none used. So I didn't use them
