take your time.
test fit without sticking it on.
practice putting the ones on in the middle. You've got one shot.
sand, wipe, acetone (windows open)
work from front to back
Enjoy the change in sound and temp.

I had to take some panels off for a roof rack mount inside and I really noticed the difference in sound.
Waiting for custom Hothead panels with special cutouts for the rack brackets.

The instructions state that you only have to wipe the sides with acetone. I ended up removing the side headliners and sanding and then wiping with acetone just like the top. The side Velcro did not want to stick without sanding!

I installed my HH as instructed. No problem with the side velcros sticking. The sanding is not really sanding, more like scuffing. I had to remove one panel to prove to my dealer it was not causing the reception problems with the XM radio (it wasn't). Came off really hard. Hope it re-sticks as well.
