Soft top Question
Starting to get some cracks on the side of the top, where it folds
down. Was wondering if there was some kind of glue or silicon that would work to seal/batch it up. I do not want to replace the top at this point but don't want it to get worse. thanks. |

And do you normally treat it at least once or twice, or more a year with anything??? I use Armour All. Now don't start, I have heard many negatives, but have used it for nearly 30 yrs. on many things, and swear by the product. |

Soft top Question
Thje car is 1990, the top was put on in 1999. Use Armour All at least
a couple of time a year, real thick coat. On Thu, 13 Mar 2008 08:25:32 -0700 (PDT), Jazz_Azz > wrote: >On Mar 13, 7:43 am, "Eric Baber" > wrote: >> > Curious, what year is it??? >> >> 2008. >> >> Sorry, couldn't resist ;-) >> >> Eric > >Wise guy>>>LOL. > >I MEANT THE CAR :-). |

This one replaced a 9 year old top and is now almost that old. Duct tape is your best bet, though not pretty. Cripes! I just realized it's been 5 years since we put the "new" top on our '90. -- Ken Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red Inside the Beltway [Remove the first two digits to reply] |

I'm sure it helps that it lives in a garage. The window no longer unzips, the Velcro is history, and I've reglued the bow sleeves twice, but no rot or cracking. As little as I use it, there's no reason to replace it just 'cause it's old. Maybe tan tops last longer... -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

It's been a wet winter and the car's been standing on the road and it's clearly taken its toll. From what has just been said here, though, 17 years for the roof seems to be pretty good going...

Of course, white tops are ideal in that respect, but I am pretty sure the most dramatic advantage of white would not apply for tops. Leon -- Leon Bess Bozo .) |
