Default How to repair scratches on acrylic roof panel ?

There are some scratches in the roof panel and I want to wetsand them out and then polish w/ a pc. Has anyone done this with success? I remember a thread about this a while back saying that they broke through the clear and it was a lot of work. Thoughts and/or suggestions? (Thanks).

I have a Word file created from posts here on the forum about refinishing a glass targa top. It may give you some ideas on how to refinish yours. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.

Is there a procedure to repair a cracked corner of a glass targa top? The drive side corner is broken off but still attached to the rest of the top.

It would be great if you would post it someplace and give us a link to the file.

If anyone knows of a site that allows posting of Word documents with pics then I would be glad to post it there and provide a link. I'm just not aware of such a site.

Can you pm the word file. Google Docs can do what you are talking about.
