S2 soft top - falling apart

Post by Tim S » Sun Sep 09, 2007 5:42 pm

My S2 is one of the first with the short roof that has the insulating inner lining. The lining's been gradually coming unstuck at each of the corners for ages - but now it's getting to the point where it's getting annoying so needs to be sorted.

Anyone else had the same problem - and if so any ideas on how to fix??

Thanks

Tim

Not all soft tops had the lining mate so you might get away with out it.(Mine has not got it) You can also get a soft top refurb from lotus.

Hmmm - warranty. I remember that! It's what the car used to have before things started falling apart!

I'll try the spray mount option, though - good idea Mac.

Thanks all

The stuff from B&Q thats meant for carpet tiles would probably be worth a try*

*if it makes teh roof shrink or change colour, it wasnt my suggestion
