    Question 30 ford tudor vinyl roof

     



    Hey guys, working on the hood lining now. Need some tips on how you guys secure the vinyl at the edges. Some photos would be great too. Henry Rifle I know you have a standard roof on your 'A'. Some photos and tips please. Especially around the front edge. (I do have timber up there to secure too as well)

    Thanks heaps
    Andy.

    My top is vinyl. It has a seam sewn on to the front, and it's just
    glued and screwed.

    Thanks Daver, could you perhaps post some closer pics and give some more details like what type of padding did yo use under it, what waterproofing did you use, if any. What glue and what screws, did you make the trim piece yourself......?

    Anyone elses info would help too. I only want to do this once. I am getting very low on funding.....

    I'll get a better pic of it for you. Most tops are glued down. I didn't do this one. it is not fancy, in fact it had a trim piece on it....but I left it off when I did my thing....it was tacky looking. Mine is just sealed on the outside seam with black silicon seal. It's not fancy, but my car is a driver, and nobody really notices the top is not a Boydey Boyd.
