Saggy Blazer top

I'm sure this has been brought up before but I couldn't find anything on any of the posts. I have a couple of single wall tops (1972) that have "dips" in the middle from one side to the other and was wondering if anybody has a good solution on how to fix them. Thanks for any help!

Re: Saggy Blazer top

I have the same problem with my top. I was thinking of using Faring Compound, like what is use on boats to straighten the sides.

Faring compound? I've never heard of that. I didn't know if anybody has embedded steel or ? into the fiberglass.

It is what the marine industry uses to smooth out boat hulls when they come out of the mold.This will explain it better... http://www.awlgrip.com/products/sear..._Compound.aspx
