5.15. BOOTLID STAND

The stay is to be glued with SikaFlex 260 to the inside of the body on the underside of the boot gutter. Before you glue the parts together, lightly sand down the rough side of the fibreglass and make sure you carefully degrease the to be glued surfaces. Use a clamp and a piece of wood to press the bottom part of the stay against the fibreglass. Give the SikaFlex a full day to harden.

Create a 17 by 6 millimetre slot on the inside of the reinforcement rim of the boot lid at about 25 to 30 centimetres from the top of the lid (adjust according to your own preference). One way to do so is to drill a series of 6 millimetres holes and with the use of a round file make the slot smooth. Make sure the stay will really “hook” behind the fibreglass so the lid cannot be blown open by the wind nor fall in your neck thanks to gravity.
