The following operation involves the bonding of fabric backed vinyl to various steel components of the hood frame. If adhesive is to be applied to the fabric backing, Dunlop 758 adhesive or equivalent should be used. For direct application on vinyl surfaces, use Dunlop S1588 adhesive or equivalent.

A thin coating of adhesive should be applied to both surfaces and then allowed to cure, until just touch dry, for between 5 and 10 minutes, before the bond is made.
