FLH....got some pics finally. These are after making sure cab, radiator and bed were aligned. This is the best I could make the fenders and running boards fit.

There was a trick I read about somewhere that if the parts are still in the curing stage you can use a hair blow dryer to heat the glass some to bring it around to clamp it to keep it in the correct shape till done curing. Never tried it and don't know how much heat, but best to keep it spead evenly and not blister it.

Thanks....I'll try it. My biggest aggrevation is...they were suppose to 2" wider rears (as advertised) and they turned out to be 1". Ive stretched and spread, contorsionalized, and cursed till I was wore out , and they still were only 1" wider.

Oh well. I'll make them work.

Well I tried using a heat gun. No such luck. Guess it was already cured? Or they were actually off that much.
