How do I determine edging length?

The process to determine edging length is easy. What is important is not to accidentally scratch the windshield with a metal tape rule. A great alternative is to use a soft cloth or fiberglass tape measuring rule since they will contour to the curves or folds of the shield. 

Don’t worry if you only have a steel rule for there is an easy work around.  This option is not only quick and easy but it is also the most accurate way to determine the edging length. All you need is some tape.

1. Apply the tape to the shield’s edge. 
2. Mark or cut the tape at the desired start and stop points.
3. Remove the tape.
4. Lay the tape in a straight line.
5. Measure, rounding up to the nearest foot or ½ foot.

For the most comfort, especially in cross winds, and best aesthetics go end-to-end. Tip: When determining edging length never stop at a corner… for grip strength the edging needs at least 4 inches (10 cm) of relatively straight area when ending.  Here is a video to help.
