When fitting the vinyl sails where does the vinyl finish when it meet's the trim at the bottom of the sail [any pics would be great and any tips on fitting these sails would be much appreciated ]

I aligned mine to the bottom of the trim holes. It allowed for the trim to cover the end and gives a little room for shrinkage.

I did dry fit several times which allows plenty at the bottom. After gluing vinyl on I put chrome trim on at bottom then marked with marker "below" trim then cut. This allows for shrinkage! George would be proud. I put masking tape below holes so glue would not get on paint.

Look up in the right hand corner of this page for "914 info" and then click on "technical info" Eric Shea did a step by step for sail vinyl installation.
