2245.0. "Waterproof a soft top ?" by LEMAN::EMAD (Noufi The Great) Wed Mar 30 1994 12:26

    Hello all,
    
    I own an old convertible car (Mercedes Pagode). Its soft top roof is in
    pretty good shape, except that it becomes wet and leaks when it rains.
    
    Does anybody out there know of a good treatment that can make it
    waterproof?
    
    Any advise is welcome.
    
    Thanks,

2245.1	It aint what you spray, it's the way that you spray it...	AYOV20::WARREN	The man with no plan	`Wed Mar 30 1994 13:10`	12
	Noufi, You may well want to get hold of a silicon based spray to make the roof water repellant/proof. - You can get the spray from most camping shops. Someone may give you a better idea, but I used this spray on a tent that leaked, and it did the trick. /warren

	Or something like that. It both colours and waterproofs soft tops. Very handy for faded ones. The MG owners club sells it and I've seen adverts in car mags. Dave
