Closed car top dressing?

[scott12180]

I have a recently acquired 1932 Packard Victoria Coupe. The top insert appears to be original

and is in good shape. However, being original I am concerned that it is brittle and may be prone

to leaks should I get caught in the rain. (And that will happen eventually.)

Any suggestions for a top dressing or sealant that I can apply to waterproof the top?

I am specially concerned about the edges where the top meets the body. I expect this would

leak first.

Thanks --- Scott

answered you in the PACKARD forum. Love to see pictures of your car. DETAILED pictures - very exciting to get a chance to see detailed photos of a REAL "original".

I used both blackwall tire dressing and plain old butcher's paste wax over the years, both seemed to work at keeping the headliner (34 Packard sedan) dry for a season or so.
