Convertible Top

Subject: Convertible Top Mon Jul 07, 2008 11:48 pm

Okay, so I have noticed that when we get heavy rain my top leaks and I get water into my car behind the backseat, however, I think my dad and I may have solved the problem not sure yet, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a new top in case I need to buy a new one.

Thanks!

i have that same exact problem i know my stitching in the bottom corners of the window is coming out and i dont know if the water was coming from there or not.

What was your solution to this cause i need to fix mine too?

Ok well i'm not sure if my solution fixed it b/c it has not rained since my dad and i did it, but we used this form a gasket stuff (called the Right Stuff, got it from the Napa store by me) and put it in the bottom corners of the window where the stitching was coming loose. So i'll fine out the next time it rains if it works.

Having replaced my top I can tell you that it's not the cost of the top that will kill you it's the installation. A new top is only a few hundred but installation is around 1500 for a reputable shop that will do it right. It will be the only time you regret owning a vert though so it's not so bad I guess Smile
