The gel coat is failing, and it needs to be restored. There are some materials out there to do this job, but I don't have them at my fingers. Ian's & my LeMans tops both need this done too. Its pretty labor intense.Does anybody have a good tip of how to treat the glassfibre cracks in the roof?
I think Ian's point about body flex is the main culprit causing stess cracks. I decided for that reason to extend the metal work on my Harrington--giving more strength and also concealing the contents of the trunk. Who wants to look in the rear window and see into the trunk? It also helped seal off any fumes from the gas tank into the cabin, should there be any.
Here is what I am talking about.
