Thank you Dennis and Colin. Dennis - I hadn't seen your descriptive documents before. They are very useful and, happily, describe pretty much the approach I have taken. I have been offering up the sliding panel at every point in the process to make sure it works ok. The last thing I have to do now is fit the vinyl covering. One last check to make sure it all works ok, then out in the driveway to sit under a spray from my hose to make sure all is watertight. Then, and only then, will I fit the headlining.
I'll have a look at the corners again, just folding them both in as you suggest. I also have to decide the order in which the vinyl is fixed. From your document it seems to suggest tack across the back first, then the front (which is glued into place, of course) then the two sides tacked in (though I may add a glued 'lip' inside the panel past the small wooden fillets that run down the sides. Can you recall if that was your approach?
