    Hardtop Material? How to Repair?

    Does anyone know what kind of material the hardtop is made of? The car that I bought came with a damaged hardtop. It looks like someone tried to cut the whole thing with a knife...

    Will bondo hold up on this type of material?

              Just the opposite here. I wouldnt survive summer without it but come winter my car stays topless.

                Why a hardtop in the hot heat?

                  When it's 90+ and 90% humidity you don't want to fight heat loss and air infiltration through a canvas top. In the fall the top will go down and stay down til june
