Yes, you need to make slits in the glass for it to make the transition from the deck to the coaming.

: Do you have to make a lot of slits or darts to get the cloth over the

: cockpit. There is a three-sided point at transition from the peaked deck
: to the recess, and I will give the cloth time to drape and conform, but
: I'll have to take it off to make the fillet.
: Is peanut butter about the right consistency for the dookie schmutz?
: Is transparency with the fillet any kind of an issue?
