[QUOTE="Darrellg1, post: 127233, member: 3812"] Hi all, My next project brings me to my cracked top. I've been looking around, and seeing how expensive replacement is, or having the top sent in and redone. So thought why not Carbon Fibre? It's probably not an original idea, but structurally a good one as far as I figure. It looks like my top was at one point dropped on the corner and cracks and crazing ensued.Previous owner had a black rubber like tape over it, but it looked terrible, not to mention, blocking half the sun. So I bit the bullet and took it all off and took a peek. I used the flow-able silicone for glass repair, but it looks bad. Not happy with it. So after thinkin maybe Plasti-dip....maybe...then boom! Carbon Fibre pops in my head, and I think it would look boss and havent seen one done in it yet. No black base coat just go clear and I am hoping to get a bit of sunlight thru. So, fellow members, has anyone done this before? I will post pics of the repair. when I do it. Fibre Tech in Burnaby says 50 bucks for a yard of fibre cloth. Plus resin and supplies Im hoping to get away with a quality job within a hundred bucks, give r take 20 bucks. [/QUOTE]
