CWigleyjr Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Has anyone replaced the Velcro on the convertible top rear glass ? Mine is peeling away from the glass and nothing I’ve tried seems to hold it in place. Is there a source for replacement Velcro ? I’m at a loss on what to try next or should I just take the car to a shop that does convertible tops. Any advice / recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Nile Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 The best adhesive I've come across is 3M black super trim and gasket adhesive. It's not cheap - close to $20 a tube, but it works better than anything else I've tried. If you get it, make sure you get black, not clear. It's readily available at most auto parts stores. I had two TC tops - one in excellent condition with a broken rear window and another with a good window but a well ventilated top - so I used this adhesive and did some stapling here and there. It has held, however I doubt it would hold up to constant use.
CWigleyjr Posted July 8, 2021 Author Posted July 8, 2021 Thanks Nile for the feedback. That’s the 3M adhesive I used and it didn’t hold the Velcro to the glass. I at a loss on how to fix this issue. The Velcro on the actual top is great, just not the one glued to the glass if you understand what I mean. Don’t know a better way to explain it. Looking for Super Duper Velcro from somebody and I’ll start over unless someone here knows of a better way or has the Velcro strip/seal to sell me. Thank Again, Chet
