[alfa] RE: Duetto Top (window)

["Greg Steinke" <GSTEINKE@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,
When the rear window on my top cracked and fell apart, my wife got a
sheet of suitable plastic from TAP Plastic (a local shop) and sewed it
in by hand. It looks ok but not perfect. But much cheaper than a new
top, and I rarely drive top up here in sunny California.

If your window is mostly OK, and the stitching is what is coming apart,
then you could try restitching this section by hand. I think nylon
thread would be better than cotton as it would be more weather
resistant. On the other hand, if the problem is that the window is
coming apart and giving nothing for the stitching to hold onto, then
this would not work.
