T-Top skin/shell

Is it possible to replace a cracked fiberglass t-top skin/shell. I saw a post on here some time ago of a guy bonding a new shell on to a t-top frame. I recently acquired a used pair cheaply but instead of trying to fix a large crack in one of the tops I thought it might be easier to remove and bond on a new one. Where can they be purchased?

Pretty sure it would be a lot easier to just fix a crack.

I think Ron is right. Since you can get to both sides of the shell to do the repair that's probably the best and easiest way to go.

Having unbonded old fiberglas, I have to say, go and fix the crack, its a lot easier.

Once you unbond the fiberglas it tends to warp some so when it comes time to fit things back together its a PITA.

just my $0.02.
