Soft top window

Postby Coote_00 » Thu Nov 12, 2020 3:20 pm

Looking to see if my plastic soft top window is repairable. Was left out in the sun when I sent it to have engine upgraded.

Desperate, but you could try a tiny test patch with a fine metal polish like Silvo or Purple if you've got some

I think it depends if the cloudiness is on the surface or throughout the plastic? Looks like the latter which is no good.
