Here are a couple of Before and After shots for those who don't like videos.

So the Plasti Dip made a world of difference cosmetically, but didn't really seal up the canvas completely. It did make a notable difference in the amount of water in the car after a rain, so I have since sprayed a heavy coat inside the back third of the top. I haven't had the opportunity to see if it helped yet. The drips in the back below the rear glass turns out, was because the rear glass was just about to fall half way out! I just glued it back in today. It still needs to be completely sealed up though. What a pain! Still, better than spending a Grand on having a new top installed, but maybe not better than $300 or so and installing it myself.


Just a fun video of running a hose on the newly Dipped top.


The "real" test. I still need to hit inside the front half with a heavy coat of Plasti Dip to see if it will help with the seepage into the side channels of the frame (all that water that dumps onto our lap when we start driving after or during rain). Looking at how the factory top is made, it looks like the outer layer is (obviously) canvas, then there is a middle layer of something (foam?) that has turned to grimey dust and then another inner layer of thin fabric that has also lost it's integrity with time.
