that you have an even overhang on the sides and ends. This

Final check
With the roof on, check for gaps. If you have small gaps as I
did, then use some body filler to fill them. Notice that the run-
ning board has not been applied yet. I still have to add some
detail parts, the running board, and more importantly, the run-
ning board supports that can be damaged with handling. I add
these last. Don’t worry about the gap in the center of the roof.
It will be covered by the running board and will not be seen.
If you like, you can add some glue to the center of the roof to
help secure it.
