    roll back vinyl top for new quarters
    « on: January 05, 2010 - 07:31:45 PM »
    Can the top be pulled back to put on new quarters and then reglued without destroying it?  My top is brand new but the po didnt realize sheetmetal comes before trim.

    You might be able to do that.  I would use something to heat it up like a hair dryer and then pull it back just dont pull too hard and stretch the materials. :2cents:
