    Default Gloss black vinyl top help

    Ive got an mkv gti and just got some gloss black vinyl for the roof and to be honest I have NO clue how to do the install. I live in Plymouth and if anyone has done this before or could lend a helpful, knowledgeable hand I'd Really appreciate it.

    Ya I figured/knew it was one of those mods that the installation was going to coast more than the product itself. I mean I was planning on doing the install myself-for free obviously-and knew it wasn't going to be an easy one, but then when I finally got the vinyl and did even more research on the install I was coming to the conclusion that I was going to at Least need some knowledgeable help. Now I feel like it would be easier, more safe, and have a better finished product to concede and just get it professionally done-which is where the little knowledge on the installation coast comes from.
    And yes Don is MASS selling it and says he gets it for cheap which obviously allows him to sell it so cheap and still make margin.
    I bought a 48x65" sheet.
