    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!

    Steve

    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.
