One of the sleeves that holds the roof onto the frame has parted company with my soft top.

At speed, air pressure causes that part of my roof to rise a few cm's off the frame!

The roof is undamaged otherwise.

Could the sleeve be reglued to the roof?

What about plastic welding?

Yes. Use a good contact glue. Coat the sleeve and the roof (where the sleeve will touch it) and press together when the glue is no longer tacky. Leave the roof up and put a couple of phone books on that frame bar area overnight and Robert's yer father's brother.

OK, Thanks!

I'll give a try on the weekend.

Sounds like what you're after. I don't have pics up yet, though.
