Removing hardware on c4 top
I have a 1989 c4 with a transparent top. The top has a dent in it, and is the same area as the hardware. Is there a guide as how to remove the hardware so I can remove the dent?

It's hard to comprehend a "dent" in an acrylic top. Most complaints are for cracks when a top is stressed. Are you asking about removing the acrylic top from the aluminum frame for the repair? Do a search (see header above) on "Betaseal U-418". I posted several extensive procedures for those having leaks in their roof or other problems.

Now the bad part, I must have used a little too much force and cracked the acrylic, so I drilled a small hole to stop the crack from spreading, filled the crack with Weld-on 3 and sanded down so you can't feel the crack. I then polished the dent and crack area, but it still can be seen, so now I am going to put a strip of carbon flash vinyl across the width of the panel and back about 6 inches to hide the crack.
It won't be perfect but it should look pretty good.
Thank you for your response.
