top installation question

I'm in the process of installing my new top & since I've been working on it slowly, I can't seem to remember if I need to glue the top edge of #1 bow. I know I glue the underside edge but I can't remember if I removed glue from the top part. Can someone look at theirs & tell me if it's glued or just free on the top of the bow?

thanks in advance.

Re: top installation question

Thanks guys... I wasn't sure. Thanks for the vids as well. I wish I could have done this all in one day so I wouldn't forget things, or documented it better. I'm a little less confident about putting the new top on than I was. I was going to start gluing bow #5 today & chickened out. Trying to center it by myself & getting the thick material to lay flat on the bow was proving to be more difficult than I imagined. This material seems way thicker than what I had, which is great but it's very stiff. Anyway... thanks again & wish me luck! I'm gonna need it!
