Wooden Roof Frame
I nearly ready to start installing the wooden roof frame on my 26 coupe. Does anyone use a sealer/ RTV under the wood or do youse wait till it's on and then seal the space between the wood and the top edge of the body? Thanks

Re: Wooden Roof Frame
On the tops I've done I don't use any sealer under the top wood. I do however use a polyurethane sealer under the cobra grain. Loctite roof and flashing sealer works perfect and blends right in with the cobra grain. I also use the Loctite under the rain gutters and the hidem trim. It cleans up nicely with mineral spirits so you can get a tight seal all the way around the top.

Re: Wooden Roof Frame
While that top installation looks great, most of the evidence points to fold over welting being used, not hide-em. Minor detail, but thought you might like to know.
T'ake care,
