Kinky Rub Rail

Post by vanhonk »

I just put a new rub rail on my 1992 26s this afternoon and it looks a little funky around the bow and both aft corners. Will this lay down by itself, or should I do something to it?

Oh, and why isn't there a 26s and 26d smiley? :)

I am so dissappointed...I thought we were going to get a story about some sensuous massage or something...

You're not supposed to "Rub" on it like that! :wink:

NO - - - and yes you should - - - installing rub rails on Macs is a real PITA :!:

Rick

PS I assume you stretched it out as reasonably possible around the bow and the corners to make the tightest "fit".
