I need some advise from some folks here about a problem that crops up everytime I remove my factory hardtop from my Tiger. The problem is that it leaves some fairly serious marks on the paint on the

When I acquired a hard top for my car it was in pretty fair condition. The car had a hard top on it before, but the previous owner kept it for the Tiger he wasn't selling. The body did have those te

I've never tried this, but it seems to me that if you could apply some teflon tape to the rubber seal, it "may" help to prevent what you are seeing. The tape is soft enough to still conform to the cu

Rich, That's a great idea. Do you know of a good adhesive that will stick the teflon tape to the rubber seal? Steve -- Steve Laifman < Find out what is most > B9472289 < important in your life > < an

I've had this problem from day one on my Cobra, even with the original rubber seal, which is still on the top, BTW. My solution is to not use the hard top. Well, I did for a while after I stripped a

No, but I my mous has teflon strips on the bottom just like yours, I bet. So probably a good contact cement would work, or some one sided tape may be out there somewhere. I only come up withthe ideas

I don't think the adhesive is any big deal. The rubbing strips on the bottom of my MS-Ergo Mouse are teflon strips help in place by some kind of contact cement. On a couple of old mice, I reglued the

The best solution I have come up with is to apply a clear vinyl laminate to the body under the seal contact area. This keeps the rubber from contacting the paint surface and avoids abrasion. The only

What you don't realize is that Steve is poking a little fun at you and most of the list missed the critical point. Teflon, by its physical properties is very difficult to "glue" to itself or anything

Has anyone tried one of those waxes that you let dry, then wipe off the resulting whitish film, to protect the body from the hard top seals? Might a real heavy coat of one of these produce a thick en

If you've read this thread, you won't need the references, but Rich was correct, Roland, I was only funning. He is also correct in his evaluation of teflon adhesives. The "teflon" cooking spray you s
