FikseGTS GT Owner Apr 15, 2007 461 South Florida May 25, 2012 #42 Is there a trick to installing the accufab support? It's such a tight fit, I gave up after and hour of trying to install it....

freeflyer GT Owner/ Forum Sponsor Mark IV Lifetime Jan 12, 2007 180 Montana May 25, 2012 #44 Leave the boot in the sun for a few hours, or use a heat gun on low an carefully heat the boot. Then the stiffner is easier to install.

I agree on the sun, in my hands, Heat guns are difficult to warm a large piece uniformly and they can create Glossy spotting on Plastic like that. Soaking in hot tap water may help get uniform warmth too.
