On the car in question the sheet was held in place with an adhesive similar to what you find on packing tape. After 17 years, it is now a slimy goo that does not hold the sheet in place. I was hoping to find the the stuff Honda uses, it seems to hold up very well over the years. ================================================== ===== A very modest collection of Honda tech info can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/ng_randolph |
