As cold as it has been it could have swimming pool p-p.
I have a feeling that it sat at the beach a lot with the top down though, it is from Charleston and there was a decent amount of beach sand in the frunk from folding chairs if I had to guess.
If I could get the leather pliable again I might be able to stretch it back out. Water will only make it shrink more, I am thinking of using some neatsfoot or lanolin oil just like on a saddle. At this point I can't really hurt it because I will likely have to replace it anyway.
I was thinking of using some of that adhesive backed 3M carbon fiber material. It would look nice but I am still pondering it.
