Audi 80 Cabriolet Plastic Window Replacement

[Chris Davies]

Afternoon all!

This is my first post on this forum; nice to meet you all.

Had lots of Audis in the past, but never a Cabriolet. Picking it up on Saturday.

I do know that it needs a new plastic window in the rear of the soft top. I understand that usually the new screens are hand stitched in for about £300 at soft top specialists. 

However, I was wondering if anyone on the Forum had used Cristal Cabriolet. Their product makes use of the zip as per the stitched in ones but then has a 3m adhesive seal that you affix to the soft top fabric rather than stitching. 
 

I thought I might try this and then if the adhesive is insufficient stitch it myself using something like a Speedy Stitcher Awl.

What are everyone’s thoughts on that?

Cheers,

Chris

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 

You'll find that most soft top roofs are glued as well as stitched these days. I guess the key question is, what's the warranty on the replacement roof?
