Until I sort my photo issue out, thought I’d post the link for the factory five forum, the photos work there for some reason. I’m sure it’s my error

By golly, I think you’re getting there. What are you going to do for a rear glass? After you get all the fiberglass work pretty much done I would sit it out in the sun for a couple of weeks and let the heat take care of any glass shrinkage and moving and help stabilize it.

The top came with what looks like Lexan windows. I've been checking all along the way to make sure they'll still fit. I have been putting it out in the sun as much as possible. |

Looking for help/advice from bodywork guys
Ok, I've laid about 3 thin coats of stranded filler and one of regular filler (which I haven't sanded yet) and here's where I'm at.
From the front.
From the side.
So, how to deal with the dip in the front to back shot? Too much to fill? more glass?
Thanks in advance.

It might be possible to place it upside down with on some supports and pile some weight on the low area and let the weight and the sun do its thing over the course of several days. But that could just spread the problem around. So yes, fiberglass mat and resin are probably the best way to go.
