Should I apply clear coat to protect the carbon fiber from UV damage?

Yes. Clear coat protects the weave from yellowing and UV degradation over time. Apply a quality automotive clear coat before installation, or have it done by a professional to ensure even coverage across the entire panel.

Is this wet or dry carbon fiber, and does it affect durability?

This is hand-laid real carbon fiber construction. Both wet and dry processes produce durable panels when properly sealed and clear coated. The key is protecting the weave with clear coat before exposure to sunlight.

Do I need to seal the edges after installation?

The panel edges should be sealed or painted to prevent moisture from entering the carbon fiber layers. Sand and prep the edges before applying your chosen automotive sealant or paint to match your roof finish and protect the structural integrity of the weave.
