NAC VW Eurovan Camper top question

[Tony Hoffman]

Thanks Fred,

I was looking for the pink stuff. I though about Liquid Nails, but I
want to be able to take it apart again, just in case. It does have
some wiring in there and whatnot, and I don't want it stuck together
so well that there is absolutely no way to get it off. With the
Silicone, it will come apart, though with some effort. Much like the
factory glue did. This is exactly what I've done in the past on Van
roofs. That way, just in case, it will come apart. I think if I stick
it too well, one side of the plastic will have to be destroyed. Both
sides are pretty flimsy. And, I do like to plan for the "just in
case". Been doing this too long, I guess........
