ok... i was wondering because none of mine had any issues.. but they were/are 93,94,95,95 fbodiesOriginally posted by Atrus View PostAfter a certain year - was it '99 that they changed? - the panels have an issue with "bubbling". Something about the adhesive used? Anyway, guys with later 4th gens harvest the sail panels from the early fourth gens as the adhesive used is inert and doesn't deteriorate and "bubble". There's no way to fix one of the later panels once it begins to bubble.
That's my recollection anyway - I could be a little off here or there, but don't blame me - I don't have a sail panel

What happened to the original sail that u needed to replace it tho.
Right on Kevin. Some '00-'02 F-bodies have had problems with the bonding adhesive reacting with the f/g and "bleed" through the surface. This especially happens when the surface is "broken" by color sanding and/or repainting as I did and several others have done. Also with it being black, the sun compounded matters and you could literally see and touch the oozing!
After the first repaint is when I experienced the ooze. So, took it back down to f/g, sealed and repainted it. It came back!!
It seems to be a common problem that can only be solved by replacing with an '98-'99 sail or aftermarket as they do not have that problem. I had found my part used last year and it came off a '98.Last edited by BlackBirdDaddy; February 19th, 2014, 08:54 AM.Leave a comment:

Please tell me you got a CF 6LE sail panel to put in
No, just a plain ordinary stock panel to replace the one that has been "bleeding."Leave a comment:
- Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell!

We are the host of the premiere all-FBody event in the Great Lakes area - the Annual Michigan FBody Meet & Greet Car Show.
