Just recieved a used top via Fedex. Top has small crack, about 1" on rear, drivers corner. It is a solid top. Can this crack be repaired? Top is nice otherwise. I would like to have it repaired and painted. Thanks, Guy

I used Marinetex (it's a marine epoxy), available at any marine supply. I ground out the crack with a die grinder to approximately 1\4" wide but not clear through the top surface. Then sanded, primed and repainted. Make sure the top is adjusted correctly, the bolts should line up easily and neither side should pull down tighter than the other. Both of mine cracked there (I think it's pretty common). I adjusted the bracket on the top of the windshield so it didn't pull down so tight. Your's being at the rear may have been damaged in transit.
Make sure the top lines up with your rear mounts correctly.
