[TR] TR3A door caps, etc, help needed

[DLylis@aol.com]

This is a little premature for my project but a am plotting against all  
impending problems.  Does anyone have a proven method for replacing the  vinyl  
covering on the TR3A body cap that sits just behind the driver's  left shoulder 
and the passenger's right shoulder? This is the one that rises up  in a sharp 
curve right behind the door on both sides.  I have experimented  with a piece 
of vinyl that was removed from the car by heating it up with a hair  dryer to 
soften it but it just does not want to stretch that much.   Even if I was an 
octopus I would still be short two or three hands to get this  to work.  I am 
afraid that if I use contact adhesive to hold it in place as  I go the heat 
will cause the adhesive to fail anyway.  I called VB as they  sell a "kit" for 
this but they told me the vinyl was NOT preformed for the  pieces. 
Help?
