tonyny Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The threads on my canvas top are coming loose. I went to 2 places, Caddy and Ford dealer, and the guy they use says the top has to COME OFF! Amy type of place that can sew the loose part with say a portable sewing machine? Thanks in advance Click on the "visit my website" link as I can't get the images to post here.

Bruce Nunnally Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 It appears that something like a canvas glue might work for that, or 3M Super Trim adhesive Spec sheet for 3M Super Trim adhesive Over on manta.com I see a few hits in Florida for companies that appear to work with this type of issue. You might try a company like: Dr Vinyl Of North Central Florida (Dr Vinyl) 5855 Ne 62nd Court Rd, Silver Springs, FL 34488-1229, United States (Map) Phone: (352) 236-3260 SIC:Top, Body, and Upholstery Repair Shops and Paint Shops Line of Business:Topscanvasplastic Florida Automotive Restyling 4301 Blanding Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32210-7332, United States (Map) Phone: (904) 269-7710 SIC:Top, Body, and Upholstery Repair Shops and Paint Shops Line of Business:Automotive Restyling although they may also try to sell you a completely new top.

rek Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I repaired some stitching on my 96 Eldo vinyl top, with a curved upholstery needle and high quality synthetic thread. I reformed the needle slightly (tighter radius) with needle nose pliers. I marked the needle at the tip, for the proper depth, to line up with the stitch spacing, so as to come through an existing stitch hole. It wore an Opti-Visor 5X, to get a close look. It takes some time but you can hardly detect the repair. rek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyny Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks guys for all the tips. I'll give the 3M product a try as it seems like the easiest. "Capital punishment means never having to say, "You again"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
