Help, please... My convertible top has shrunk
It is getting cold and my vinyl convertible roof has shrunk to
the point where I can not put it up!
I have been unemployed for 1 year and can not afford to buy
a new one...
Does anyone know any softeners retail, commercial, industrial
or otherwise that I can use to soften and stretch my vinyl top?
I am really desperate!!!
Thanks!

Punch,
Great suggestion!
Having already employed it to its fullest, I feel I am in need of a chemical
answer, i.e., a softener of sorts, to achieve my objective.
Thanks, again!

Yes, that's a pretty good idea, but I like to run around topless whenever
possible...
I really need a chemical answer, i.e., a softener of sorts, to achieve my
objective.
Any other thoughts?

Get several space heaters. Turn them on high and get the
garage up to about 95-100 degrees. Sauna. No joke. Let the
car sit for 5-6 hours in this to simulate a nice, warm afternoon.
The top should work now.
Using chemicals will just weaken, deform, and most of all
stain the top.

A CHEMICAL answer is not THE answer. The warm garage, or leave it sit
with tht top almost all the way up and the SUN on it, it the ONLY
ANSWER.
GOOD LUCK

It won't work. Old tops shrivel up and die.
