We had a freak hail storm here today. I was lucky, I only have one puncture in the rag top, in the top right corner of the rear plastic window. I'm wondering if there's any suggestions on a reasonable fix w/o forking over $300 for a new top?

(btw - most people lost front and rear glass, and had serious hail damage)
 
Most upholstry shops and/or marine canvas shops can replace the rear window with new plastic.
Or check out AABest.com for new tops for around $150.

If it was a "freak hail storm", what on earth were you doing with your top up in the first place? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif It rained the night before...I'd hate to know what it would have done to my interior.....

Anyway, here are some pics of the aftermath if anyone's interested:
