Ragtop and glass bonding
Posted by Leng, Mark S [AMSTA-AR-CCL-B] (more from Leng, Mark S [AMSTA-AR-CCL-B]) on Mon, 24 Jul 2000 23:21:17
is starting to deteriorate. When I wash the top, hosing the roof now
results in water running off the rear windshield and collecting under the
canvas fabric between the bottom of the glass, the canvas expands with the
trapped water and one must physically push the water out (same direction it
came in) to allow the canvas to flatten out and dry. The factory seal,
which looks like a double sided neoprene tape has lost its adhesiveness to
the glass, so now the canvas can lift off and acts like a canvas pocket to
collect water ( This situation must also be occurring while driving and the
air flow opening up this newly formed pocket). With the current situation,
water collected just sits inside this newly formed pocket without seeping or
leaking out. Does anyone know what is the official factory repair for this
incident.
the glass and canvas as a fix? I just wonder how good of a bond will
silicone be with the canvas fabric, I know with the glass it will form an
excellent bond. Someone recommended to use the sticky asphalt type adhesive
used by the shops to form the gasket on windshields that will stay soft
without curing to compensate for the canvas fabric non-stick surface.
Any thoughts on my remedy,
Mark
