Ken, we may have an update. Dan just came in and I showed him what you are doing, and he said he isn't 100% sure, but he has seen threads where someone did the 3M routine on the bows and when the top heated up from the sun it would distort the top because the metal couldn't expand or contract because it was glued down so tightly to the bows. He has heard it is better to put a thin strip of weather stripping on top of each bow to dampen out any harmonics.

Not 100% certain, but that is what he has seen others post.
