Topic: Bubbles in Convertible Top

[Rogue]

I spent last weekend getting GXPsy's finish ready for the winter. In the process I noticed there were some bubbles in the top. It appears as though the cloth may be delaminating from whatever the substrate is. Is this a significant problem? If so, is there an easy DIY cure for it? Of course, we do recognize that this is a top that has lasted 12 years and still looks and fits like new.

On the top of the top?

[Rogue]

Yes. The outer layer, ie, the cloth.

Since Kelu is busy at the moment.

I'll try again, but they don't show in the pics when I tried to take some over the weekend.

I am not disappointed. I knew that comment was coming!

Out of curiosity, what have you been using to clean and treat the top?  Does it spend a lot of time in the sun/weather?

Meguiars Gold Car Wash, parked in a partially enclosed carport. Driven to work 5x per week. Sheltered all weekend. At first we suspected the neighborhood cat, who likes to sleep on the top when it can, but there is no evidence of claw damage anywhere.

Just tried taking more pics. There is nothing that can be seen in the photos. 3 small bubbles, about 1" in diameter (or maybe that's 25mm). Height cannot be seen at all in the pics.

Are the bubbles by the windows?. The reason I asked is because the stuff between the liner and the canvas top can get bunched up.
