Tunnel Trim Fixing??
FAO all those who have successfully fitted the ally trim to their trans-tunnel top.
What did you use to fix the trim? I've seen a couple of examples where dome-headed screws were used, (I'd prefer c/sunk, for lower
profile). I reckon some other examples were "glued" on, as there were no mechanical fixings showing.
Please, which is recommended?

I shall watch this with interest. That is one of the last jobs I have to do, and I did think of using those trim clips that are used for interior trim
panels on most cars but not sure if they would be good enough.

I trimmed the whole top panel with textured vinyl and used velcro (with strong adhesive) to fix it to the tunnel top.

Mine was done in a different way. Alloy covered with vinyl for the top, screwed on using raised head stainless steel screws and stainless steel screw
cups going into nutserts in the tube. The side panels of the tunnel are expanded PVC (I think) as used by signmakers for temporary signs again screwed
on. This is about 5 mm thick and available in 8' x 4' sheets.
