  View original topic: Hole in Convertible top question.
Canman Wed Jul 14, 2004 6:41 pm

The top on my 78 super is great except for a 25cent sized hole on the passenger side quarter area (ie. not on the top of the car).

Eventually I am going to replace the top, but for the time being, I would like to patch it, in case I get into a rainstorm.

It is a white vinyl top. I guess I could patch it with a couple of scraps, one from the inside and one from outside.

Anyone got any ideas, or a website that sells a patch like I need?

Thanks for your help!

I was able to find a guy locally who specializes in vinyl repair - he fixes dash pads, seats, door panels, etc, as well as convertible tops. One of the local interior shops recommended him so I gave him a call. It was a couple of years ago now but he only charged me $30 to fix a hole something like you have. Good luck!

Duct taped the inside, duct taped the outside. Cheap and efficient if you're going to change the top soon.
