dyeing a convertible top
Hey guys... I've got a 2002 electron blue with an Oak top...its got some dark spots here an there...mostly visable in the shade or cloudy says and very visable when its wet...I've used all the best cleaners available...they did help some but not a lot....Now...having said all that to Gert to this....upholstery guy said he's dyed a bunch of tops, especially white ones an they came out perfect....any of you had any dealings like this an what was the results...my top is perfect wear wise... No bad wear...good stitches an all....I'd hate to pay for a new top if this procedure would bring it back like new....thanks in advance for the help

in theory it's fabric and it should take a dye , my guess would doing it the correct way which every way that maybe and I would think it would turn out pretty nice...

You have to make sure that the stained area will except the dye or you will have spots showing up on the newly dyed top.I had the same problem and I decided not chance it and went for a new top, but then again I wanted to go from the Oak to a black top for my white convertible.
Good Luck
