There is a forum member selling a Stillen Roof Wing. He tells me that when it is shipped, the shape might be off because shippers may position the pkg in such a way that when I get, the wing may look like it doesn't fit. I will need to set the wing on my car, in the sun and let it re-shape itself to fit. This should occur after an hour or two.

I tried to call Stillen to confirm this but couldn't get a response. So help me out guys and gals......is this the case if I order a Stillen Roof Wing? Sounds a bit off to me, but Ive been wrong before.......just can't remember when! lol......thanks for the input

I will tell you this much. Stillen uses one of the BEST polyurathane in the industry. Their POLY parts can be bent in any way, shape or form and will always return to it's original shape. If the roof wing is out of shape when you get it I recommend intalling it on a warm/hot day in the sun. The heat helps the POLY to turn into its original form and you can help it get there faster . I have seen and heard Kyle Millen several times say this to me and a small crowd of people. When I bought my trunk and roof wings Kyle was the person that helped me install them. He knows his SIHT .
