Sail Panels Install

I got a set of new sail panels from Classic and the panels came with nothing except with velcro that doesn't stick for anything....Any ideas on how I can install these panels? Thanks.

You can install them using the velcro but on the first hot day it'll seperate. You can do what i did and gently take the brackets off your stock sail panels and epoxy them to the rear of the new one. Worked perfectly.

You could probably find a sail panel in bad condition at the junkyard and get it for free basically. I'm changing my interior gray for the headliner, sunvisors and sailpanels to a darker one and am going to have to do it again for the new sail panels.

THANKS 3gc! I took the tabs from the old panels and glued them to the new panel. Now they are installed and they look great!
