Re: Installation of Fabric Top Insert

Thanks for the help.

I have a service bulletin on the proper way to lower convertible tops and so I assume they must have had something on replacing fabric inserts.

This question comes about because I was consulted about the roof on a an original Packard Limo. (not as good as Turnquist's 39 but pretty good). After examining the paint I concluded that under no circumstances should the vehicle come into contact with rain or water because the original Packard paint job was starting to check.

This car is a museum piece and the the proper way to avoid customer disatisfaction is to go by the book. Given the situation with the paint I couldn't do anything because I couldn't put water on it anyway.

I wanted some quality written material because that is the proper way to approach a problem like this.

Thanks,
