Soft top experiment
My back window is shot. I took the top off and down to a canvas guy and he said that he wouldn't be able to do it without removing it from the frame. I spoke to a few other canvas guys and got the same response.
So.... In usual fashion, I'm gonna farm engineer it. I considered sewing in a new one by hand but I'm pretty sure it's not gonna turn out well. Instead I've decided to go with industrial adhesives.
My plan is to use strataglass for the new window and fix it to the top with two products. The first is 3m double sided vhb, between the top and the strataglass. Then, on the inside "seam", use a layer of 3m extreme seal tape. I may also run a bead of e6000 around the outside seam but I'm gonna avoid this if possible.
I figure the worst thing is I ruin a soft top that's already ruined. Hopefully though the 3m products are up to the task.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
