Transparent Top

I have a transparent top with the spider cracks. I like the top but would also like the solid top too. I had an idea but don't know if it will work. Could I install a vinyl wrap on the damaged transparent top? Then I could have that as my solid top and I could buy a new transparent top.

I dont see why not. Sounds like a good plan to me.

I agree. I've been playing with carbon fiber wrap. That's a clever idea. I bet it would work great.

I would consider buying an interior roof panel, (like the one sold by DSV) to cut down on sound and heat transfer as well.

My top had two small cracks in it as well. I really like it and hope it doesn't get much worse. I do like your wrap idea!

This wrap I've been playing with is expensive but really good quality. I bought the gloss wrap. I'm working up to doing the pieces in the dash and door panels. The stuff matches my real carbon fiber perfectly. I wonder what it would look like with a clear coat? My car is Cyber Gray. The top on mine? Hmmmmm. Interesting thought. Naaaaaaaa. I'd have it done. Lol....
