#1 S1 S2 Flappy Hard Top

Post by vipergts » Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:05 am

When getting a lick on the hard top flaps a bit against the rear deck under the rear window.

I know this area is a bit weak and I thought bonding the Perspex window might help. Race cars seem to have this sorted by riveting a bracket to the deck.

Anyone else have this issue?
