fixing slashed miata convertible top
per an earlier post, the repair of a convertible top slashed by a radio
thief -- using elmer's stix-all adhesive, commonly available (like at walgreen's for about $6.00 a tube) -- passed its first serious storm test by holding-up very well. if this stuff works, and it seems to, it saves about $1,200, the cost of replacing the top. we know because we replaced the top the last time it happened. the adhesive has been successfully "holding" a patch of vinyl convertible-top material obtained from a auto upholstery/top shop. most glues seem to wilt under heat from the sun or give-way in other ways. this stuff, which goes on gloppy and dries that way, has held up under both heat and rain. we're still looking for a reasonably-priced hard top but these seem not to exist. and in fact, we now may not need one. cheers, art mcginn, '91, san francisco |
