MagnetBra -- Yay or Nay????

[Mile High VX]

Great write up Kat...I put mine on in the winter here in CO so no go for me on that SUN and HEAT.

The only other thing that was problematic for me what where the bra overlaps the hood at the corners. It was difficult to get the hold down started.

Also don't pull too hard on the hold down piece. With a few tries you'll get it even at both edges. It's easier to go back some and pull more than it is to get to the end and need to go back and make is shorter...

Looking forward to seeing the pics Jon.

I .....am......terrified...j/k

I will give it my best shot tomorrow.

Take it out of the box today for an easy install tomorrow...and don't forget to get your hairdryer out!

Should I unroll it too? Is there a backing, or should I be concerned about where I lay it?

YES, put it in sun light (even inside) to help it get warm and unroll...
Don't force it to unroll!

NO, there's NO BACKING on it...so be careful!

YES, be concerned where you lay it! Beach towel!

Y'all are making it sound SOOOOO difficult!!!

I unrolled mine onto my hood close to the desired location & left it that way for about 15 minutes. Then repositioned it to the desired location. I chose to bias it towards the leading edge like Sue did & that left a little bit hanging over the edge of the hood in a few places (sorry - can't remember where since that was 2 1/2 years ago). I then used scissors to trim off the excess & then put the trim piece on.

Sorry but I can't vouch for the effects on my paint. The one time I took it off 2 years ago, there was some discoloration of the paint. I have no idea if the discoloration will come off with rubbing compound or not. I just put the bra back on and decided that it is now a permanent mod. I'm probably going to have to replace mine next year since the trim piece keeps working loose over the PS headlight (or maybe I'll just try the crimping method that y'all mentioned). I schlep some Back2Black on it any time that I'm treating the cladding and it still looks new.

im confused are these magnetic or just use static electricity and trim clips?

[tom4bren]

sheet magnet.

Sorta/kinda like the material that refridgerator magnet business cards are made of.

I JUST got my truck back late last night from a week long back and forth in the shop.

Replaced a pinion bearing, etc.

Dinner with friends tonight and helping a buddy move tomorrow. Probably/hopefully will do it on Sunday.

I WILL get pictures this time. I pinky swear.

'Cmon JAMMY. Yer starting to be a more worser procrastinator than me!!!

JK

Good luck with that full plate ya got goin on this weekend.

The funny part is that when you do eventually get it on, you're going to say "Dang - that was so easy & quick that I could have done it before dinner on Friday!!!"

[JAMAS]

HA! Probably right.

[JAMAS]

Install went very smooth. I had to redo the edging because I put it on upside down, but everything else went well.

Here are some pictures...

[circmand]

you did an excellent job there.

[tom4bren]

HA! Probably right.

Of course I'm right - was there any doubt?

Looks great. How much time from unrolling the material to snapping the shutter?
