i am still having alot of problems intalling my boomer side skirts......i herd you can use a heat gun to help bend the fiberglass........well i dont actually have one and i dont know where to get one, so i read some where that you can use your hair dryer......so i tried it and it didnt seem to work......do i have to wait longer for the fiberglass to get soft or does the hair dryer thing just not work?......also how long does a heat gun take on average? thanks for ur help
much needed ha |

Sorry to hear you are having problems. A heatgun will get hotter than a hair dryer.
These wouldn't be VIS skirts by chance would they?

You need to go get a real heat gun, i used one and it was fine. |
