    Hardtop

    Been searching the past couple days on this forum and a couple others but can't seem to find the answer to my question anywhere. I currently have a hardtop for my e30 and the interior lining sags. Is there any way to reupholster it and also the exterior or is it a lost cause and I'll just have to re-glue the fabric to the top. I apologize if the question has been asked before.
    Thanks in advance.

    My headliner sags too. I flipped it and pulled the rubber trim back along the tops of the side windows. That gave me some access to spray some 3m super90 spray adhesive in there. It lasted about a year. So there's your short term solution…

      Got it. Thanks. So no chance for reupholstering it?

        I just don't have pro skills at that. I bet a pro could do a fine job with the headliner and/or the exterior vinyl.

          That's the plan is to take it to a pro. I just haven't seen anyone do it before. I've seen a painted one before but never a reupholstered one.
