The sills shown above are different than the Aerosport ones, the ones from Aerosport aren't 'raised' and match the profile of the existing space. I happened to install the Aerosport ones recently so I can tell you what I did. In my case I had the top on, glassed in and the plane around latch all installed. If you are doing this prior to installing the cabin top you could do it different
- Removed 3rd door latch block.
- Measured and trimmed each sill for length and cut.
- Made measurements with a sliding square about every 6 inches and then transcribed that onto carbon fiber sill piece.
- Trimmed the sill piece to match the markings with about a 1/16th extra (ie on the outside of the drawn line)
- Then it was just back and forth holding it up, sanding a bit, holding it back up and sanding some more. Takes time but I wanted it flat on both angles and close to the cabin top filet as possible.
- Roughed up paint and then coated the inside of the sill with 3M two part adhesive.
- Clamped the piece in place and removed any overage.
- Once cured, removed clamps, sanded the bottom of the 3rd latch blocks a bit and called it good.
