Default Sail Panels

These can be a real PIA. I find the reproduction sail panels to be a good start. I take the old ones and trim the new to match the old. I do some steaming and pre bending of the cardboard to make sure they have the shape I want to fill the gap with the package tray. Ive never been fond of anything pre assembled. Its best to get the cardboards where you want them in shape and then glue the material on. I always reposition the strip in the back that holds the clips. If done right they are very smooth and fit tightly.
