Camper shell

Yet another project!! The top is in the finally stages for prep. Soon painting will begin! My question to my fellow Blazer bros is... do I install the new rubber after painting? (not the window gaskets but the ones that run the outside perimeter) and are there any tricks of the trade for installing them that i should know? FYI its a double side wall
take care,
Andrew

Re: Camper shell

Wait 'til after paint. I'd pull the hinges before painting too (since it looks like you're going to need to install a new hatch anyway)

Re: Camper shell

Definately after paint, just did mine last month good luck. Just noticed you still have your glass in, might want to pull it for a cleaner finish.
