heavily scratched t top help
both my t tops have lots of scratches on them
can these be refurbed or replacement available.
no idea how they have got like this (they were like this when i bought the car)
really looks crap.
considering rubbing them down and spray painting them black to tidy it up
any other ideas would be nice

Re: heavily scratched t top help
upon closer inspection its not scratches it looks like hundreds of little cracks .
not deep though .
i assume these roofs have a sprayed on tint applied to them .
looks like that is all cracking
can this be removed and reapplied
think i may just colour code the roof but unsure if it will look ok

Re: heavily scratched t top help
These are the lexan pieces, yes? Earlier models got glass roofs.
The cracking and crazing is in the lexan , not much you can do about it except paint them.
Many people replace the lexan with the glass ones. Direct fit replacement.

Since thee are the lezan ones you could sand the scratches out with finer and finer grit sandpaper then polished them out, or forget the polish and clear coat them with a UV protectent paint

Re: heavily scratched t top help
He said they aren't just scratched, started crazing too. Can't sand that out. Personally I'd junk them and get glass ones, but otherwise paint them body color. Prob have to do both sides .
