It's been awhile since I been in the paint and body section and just found this post.
Just want to tell you , Thanks Alot Tim for posting up the pics and how-to !
I might try this shortly. If I get stuck can I drive up from Aiken,SC with 1/2 the sail panel ripped off for some help ?
Thanks again
Tom

I am supprised that it's a urethane caulk rather than an epoxy glue under there. Most likeley the culprit is release agents from the modling process that got trapped under the paint. You can fix it how it is outlined by the OP, or I'd imagine you could strip it and repaint it. Either way great job!

I had a hardtop and i now have t-tops thanks to the conversion. Id very much like to have a t-top sail panel now so i can get a real nice defined line for the cut we made for the roof. Is it possible to do this since i converted? How much does it cost? Id gladly drive up to SC for someone to do it for me
Also how much does the sail panel cost?
