Right I'm putting together the final templates for my replacement SR vynal but have come up with a small problem.

At the bottom corner of the door theres a nice curve. The vynal goes on the door but also on the sill and into the rear 1/4 panel.

Ignoring the door, the sill vynal at that corner overlaps the edge and blends round about 20mm so it looks nice and flush when the doors closed.

What I need to know is this - the vynal that goes round the corner - it the template a curve or is it s straight line?

Up the the edge its obviously goona be a curve (and if you cut it to excatly the straight line it would be) but when blending it over wouldnt the curved section be shallower than the straight edges?

I cant get the vynal off in one piece to see because it stretches and tears. I'm sure its a curve but youh know when you look at something for soooo long you mind goes all mental... trying to picture is and I just see the curved lip being shorter than the straight bits...

Anyone?

defo are! So they have curved angles

Excellent. That's what I've done...

I'm please to say mine are exactly the same except for the odd indentations along the top edge - not sure what theyre there for as the whole edge for about 20mm is hidden under the bump strip... Mine are solid edges...

Cheers matey!
