T Top repairs
Does anyone know who sells a compact electric hand saw, like carving knife size? Also looking for a windshield pillar weatherstrip video on the "way" to manipulate the new molding into place.

Well, I want one of those now, but that won't do what is needed. I need to reach the velcro fastener with a blade, a few inches in between the headliner piece and the T-Top outside piece. Somebody repaired them with way to much epoxy. They put globs of it between the 2 velcro fasteners, so I figure cut between them through the epoxy sandwich to get it apart,.

What are the characteristics of the material you're looking to cut? Soft and rubbery, or hard and solid? Soft/rubbery likely would do better with a knife-like blade. Hard/solid a saw-like blade, maybe 10-12-tooth/inch -ish.

To get in there and cut through the glue, have you tryed an electric carving knife? It's serrated edge's should be just the ticket.

Bought one of these shared by interpon. Can't wait to use it, small and fits in your hand nice. Got one with the blade and battery for $99. at Lowes.
