Also does anyone have a diagram to help with installation.....it's been awhile. Does the tape have a layer between the channel and trim, as well as the body and channel? And is it the same material? 6795833-insulativetape.jpg (77 downloads)

In 72 Mopar changed the "dark gray soft foam tape" to 1/8" thick from 1/16". I recently changed my kits to cover 70-74 and have been just using the thicker tape.

I used the tape in 71TA's kit. It worked great on my 73. It had the same type tape on it originally.

It did not wrap around it at all. That's how I trimmed my new top. I originally had some material wrapped around the edge but the drip rail trim didn't want to go on very smoothly. It went right on once I trimmed the excess.

You can cut and paste from PDF if it is unprotected. One huge tip on applying the vinyl. Follow the adhesive directions to the letter. I rushed mine, the VOCs in the glue did not disipate enough before I laid it down and months later, the off gassing had created bubbles under the vinyl all over the roof. It will be replaced in a few weeks.
