    i got a vinyl top that is about 3yrs old and where the top meets the window bow it is starting to spot all the way across :eek:hnoes , by spots i mean black vinyl turning white, i think it is from the rain whipping on it while driving :aargh ......any suggestions......

    The color is turning white? That's odd :eek:hnoes Well I can tell you the top is made from sail cloth, maybe there's some kind of specific dye you can use? If you can find a upholstery place they should be able to help you.

    There are 2 types of Materials for your car, Nylon and in a since sail top lol
    the Nylon based top is tuff to mount but it will last years longer than the sail lol

    Did you get your top off of ebay?

    I bought the car from my buddy 2 years ago, he got the top from convertibletopguys i think about a year before that. But i think it is the cheaper of kinds that they provide (its got the dimple effect on the whole top)

    Pics dude.......... Are Convertibletopguys close to you ?.......... Take the car down there and ask some questions.

    Ask your mate some questions about how he looked after the cover.

    Edit..... I googled this...........

    A three ply composite made of 100% acrylic square weave outer fabric, a butyl rubber inner layer and a 100% cotton drill lining fabric.

    Apparently the benefits are.........

    Superior Tailorability
    Excellent Wrinkle Resistance
    Superior U.V. Resistance
    Superior Weatherability
    Excellent Durability
    Excellent Cost/Performance
    Excellent Low Temp. Flexibility

    :cheers
