nigel99 138 #2 August 8, 2012 I think that UV stabilized clear PVC sheeting/film might be the right thing. It stays flexible down to -20C approximately and is long lasting. I'm thinking of the kind of stuff used for tent windows or on some boats.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

I once went to an auto-top place that makes replacement tops for convertibles, and they gave me a nice scrap piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
