Stock Vinyl Convertible Top

Oct 21, 2005 2 Replies

Any suggestions on how I can "repair" my stock vinyl convertible top so it won't rip off the top of my car this winter?



I am planning to replace it this spring.



Thanks!

You need to be a bit more specific as to what the problem is... latches? top stretched with age? cut/ripped/torn (and where)? Spike

If it's marginal now, I'd replace it BEFORE winter rather than deal with all the hassles of leakage/breakage when it's cold outside. A convertible top is enough of a hassle in the winter when it's "working fine". It can make your life miserable if it's cracked or leaking and it's 20F outside.

Cheers,
