My '88 came with an add on luggage rack and the PO drilled all the way through and put acorn nuts on the inside. Is there a way to repair outer fiberglass and inner plastic or should I just hold out for a unmolested top? Not having any luck finding any near Dayton, OH.

Exploring options with no experience in this area at all...

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, trukman1
 
what are you planning on doing with the top? If refinishing anyway then fiberglas is is pretty easy to fix. Or if you dont care if its not perfect(who looks at the top of a top anyway) it wouldn’t be a big deal to fix the glass and have it be serviceable with a spot fix.

im yanking the factory luggage rack off mine and have to fix a hole where the PO put an antenna in the top. Since its getting refinished anyway its not an issue for me.
 
I was wanting it to look original. I think I know I'm going have to replace it. Just hoped there was a way to repair it so it wouldn't be noticed.Thanks foe the response.
