Default 1980 T-top restoration?

Does anyone know of a company where I can restore my LOF mirrored, t-tops? The laminate is coming apart from the left (driver side) t-top and I want to keep them original.

please respond with contact info or url.

Thanks!

The only company that I know of that would remotely have a chance at fixing this problem is Melrose T-top international. Melrose@tbc.net You would need to talk with Dave. I’m not sure if he will do this or not but it’s worth a chance or email. I do know that the standard over the counter epoxies will not hold this glass in place.

Their phone number is 815-758-2783

I used Melrose to relaminate my factory t-tops; believe it was Dave I spoke to on the phone. I shipped them....couple of days to turn around then they came back just fine.

Dave explained that the original tops are difficult to replace. Consider that when insuring the top during shipping.
