The PO said the top blew over in his driveway...Is this fixable, or do I need to find a fiberglass top?
Thanks

Sure looks like rusted, rotted, half-assed patched garbage to me....



:meh:
 
I second Mr. Cramer.
 
FRP is repairable, depending on the time you want to invest. That rain gutter, not so much. CCOT sells the gutter in pieces, you weld it up. a member on here also does that, but dont remember who.
 
That is what i was thinking. I agree I need to replace it, besides I want it to be factory white again. Just to let everyone know, I didn't do the patch job, foam, or the bed liner on the top :flipoff2: I plan to do it right.
Thanks for the info
 
replace
 
If you are good with fiberglass work that may be repairable - if you have patience
 
Maybe it's just the photo (first one), but the joint where the side panel meets the door frame looks out of whack. If so, it might have put some stress in the fiberglass at that point. (?)
 
After just finishing a complete hardtop tear-down and restoration, I wouldn't even mess with that top. Find one in better shape around the rain gutter, buy a new seal to fit b/t the sides and top, and clean-out and replace the seam sealer inside the gutter to prevent any leaks and call it done.
 
I have thrown better looking tops in the dumpster. The problem is shipping them. They are big and don't fold up well.
 
Alright, bought a new fiberglass top with a built in fiberglass rain gutter from a member here, thanks fueg0 :cheers: I will get it replaced, just waiting on my weatherstrip and bolts to get here. I will post some pics as I get it finished.
