This is awesome !!! You did a great install. Yes the promotor was just added sorry it was not included.Got the Titanium top in. Looks stellar! Must have shipped out the day before they started including the adhesive promoter, but that's ok. I didn't notice any peeling up until a few days after install when I started pulling the top up to tighten it a bit from initial install. I was careful to hold down the front and carefully pull the top off. I also let the Velcro set up for 24 hours prior to install. But it's been 100° here in Texas and that metal gets hot.
Some best practices I recommend. First I dry fitted the top by laying it along the top before even sticking the Velcro. This let me see where the Velcro should stick on the bars. Since the soft top bracket must be reattached in the exact same spot, I took painters tape and a sharpie to make it easy to line up.
As you can see the Velcro will stick closely to the brackets. I attached the 2 clips to the front then medium torqued the straps in the back until top was taught. Then alternated each side pulling and Velcroed each side about a foot at a time to keep each side even. Once done, I torqued the back straps a bit more. Put the soft top brackets back on. Let it sit in the garage a bit longer then took it out that evening.
Barely any shimmy to it and 0 noise. Even helped the AC hit better since the wind was cut down considerably. Today I undid the Velcro and torque the back straps a bit more (1/2 inch of strap probably) and it's as tight as it can be. 80 mph is a walk in the park for this top! Highly recommend.
