Garage
I decided to do my original roof right away since the work area and tools were set up and the experience was fresh in my mind. This time I wanted to eliminate the wrinkles on the left and right sides (you can see them in the photo in the previous post) and tighten up the window as much as possible.
I used the same basic approach, glueing with Goop and sewing, and I again started with the bottom edge. Next I installed bungee cords under the last bow to pull the top of the window tight.





I added 2 other bungees diagonally to hold the top edge after this photo was taken.
With the window tight I sewed the top. After sewing I added the Goop as a sealant and glue between the window and the top.

Next I used more bungees to pull each end tight before sewing then sealing it.



The window is much tighter this time both horizontally and vertically. I will post a picture once it is installed on the car.
