Hi Alan,
You are in luck. With Eternabond, you'll get only one chance. So you will do it right the first time.
I had more room, on each side, than you do. Consider putting as much Eternabond on the lower side as possible. The ideal would be to have the seam right in the middle of the Eternabond. If the drip rail can not be used as a guide, consider running a chalk line the length you will be applying Eternabond. This helps placement of the Eternabond in a straight line. This is because you really only get one chance. Once this stuff contacts the coach, that's it. There is no repositioning. Lastly, start at the rear and work forward. If you have a seam, the most forward Eternabond will overlap the most rearward Eternabond.
