Installing Carbon Roof

They have been falsly selling their parts as mastergrade ever since they bought those old crappy molds from the original owner. Just because they purchased the molds doesn't make them Mastergrade parts, which the were labeling them as. I can't tell you how many complaints in the last 6 months of working with Mastergrade, we have got on the KCG parts. KCG won't stand behind thier parts, so the customer seek out "Mastergrade" for compensation, only to find out what they own is not Mastergrade and that they are stuck with what they got. KCG is a very sketchy company, they don't even make those parts, C-wings does.
Hell we sell roofs that were cut too short for cheaper then what you bought yours for, and atleast its vacuum bagged. But we label them as too short, not as a good roof cap.

The corners are still up a tad and the hardened glue under the roof cover has made it super hard for them to bend anymore.
I might just rip it off this weekend and sand the roof and use double sided tape...
Good idea? Or should I leave the corners a fraction of an inch up?

Thanks everyone for your help with the roof...
Driving my car home tonite on 408 my carbon fiber roof flew off and then was ran over and shattered into a million pieces! How sad is that! So now I have dried glue all over my roof.
I had it on there really good except the 1 corner was not flush yet... air must've got in...
Hopefully with my tax return I can just bite the bullet again... and have a professional install it.
Thought I'd vent. Sad ending to a thread lol.

No... no one was behind me at the time... I pulled over as I was walking towards it and picked up a little piece... as I got closer I could see it cracked and then a car ran it over just as I was next to it... scared the sh*t out of me and then I was sad...
So to clear things up... If I decide to get a new one... proper install technique: 3m double sided tape to the edge and hold down with weight?
