Soft Top Mod

Postby Okibi » Fri Sep 22, 2006 9:18 am

Here’s a mod I’ve had all the gear to do for a few years but had never found the time, I was going to take the roof off to do it but I managed with the roof on.

The underside of my soft top was wearing near both catches and the central hand hole, it also had a small 3mm gap where one of the seams was opening.

I glued a length of vinyl on the underside of the roof to seal everything up and protect the underside from more scuff marks.

Sorry for the quality of the photo :oops:

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I wasn't so worried about the roof's looks, more that it was wearing away.

I might try \"black\" out the rest to match.
