    Wrinkles in vinyl top
    « on: April 18, 2016 - 02:57:37 PM »
    I purchased a vinyl top from Legendary for my 1970 Challenger.  I am waiting for the guy to have it put on, but I am not thinking that the puckering along the seams is going to stretch out.

    Has anyone else's tops looked like this?

    Mine is exactly the same and I had the same concern. I had my vinyl roof guy [40 years experience] come look at it and he told me that all wrinkles would come out as he stretched it on. He advised me that those wrinkles were 100% normal.

    You would be all puckered up too if you were stuffed in a box for a while.    :bigsmile: :bigsmile:  It will all be smooth when stretched over the top.

    If you still have concerns. Send pictures of it to the installer for his assessment first.

    Thanks guys, I have already sent the pictures to the installer, but have not heard back yet.  I am also pushing the car out into the sun to help get some of the wrinkles to relax.
