TDK Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 The vinyl top might be partially-repaired (like the vinyl seats in other cars). Some upholstery shops may be able to help. A Caddy Dealer or body shop might be much more expensive than what you have in mind. I think the repair goes like this: First, a vinyl hole is fixed by first supporting the underside ( mesh - for a seat-tear for example). Your'e roof should very easy, since it does not flex like a seat. Next, the patch is carefully fit and not stretched too much. Last, it is heat-melted at edge-seams with a small bead of liquid vinyl (plastic). The problem will be an exact color-match, but the grain should be ok. Good luck Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
