Wrap a glass top?
Any one here do this? Will the vynl adhere to the glass surface properly?
Main reason I was considering doing this is my top is starting to look a little battered, lots small fine spider web cracks, and to cut down on interior heat. Don't have the funds right now for a painted top and thought this may be an alternative for the time being.

I am sure it would stick fine. Think vinyl window stickers.
If you are into carbon fiber, 3M makes some stuff called dinoc that looks just like it. I've considered wrapping my targa and halo in this stuff.

That sounds like a good idea for a top in the condition he described , of which I own one like that too.

A vinyl wrap should work just fine and the CF wrap would look very good.

Might have to give this a try. I might actually enjoy trying to do it myself. 
Plus I can save some money by doing it myself.
Some one else mentioned Plasti Dip but I thought they were

If you do go the carbon fiber route, don't use the Di-Noc. While it "can" be done, its not meant to be used on car wraps. Instead, 3m makes a vehicle wrap specific carbon fiber vinyl under their Scotchprint series. Just google "3m Scothprint Carbon Fiber"
If you do it yourself, check out Youtube for tips. One important thing to remember is that with any carbon fiber vinyl, you do not want to stretch it much because the pattern will become wavy.
Good luck.
