Hard Top Repair: Notes

NOTE: The hard top is manufactured from a sheet molded compound (SMC).

SMC is constructed using short fiberglass strands usually less than 5.08 cm (2 inches) long. Sheet stock of glass impregnated resin matting is placed into the mold and pressed under heat to flow material throughout the mold. Tooling is shear edge designed to mold to net (i.e. no trimming at periphery required).

SMC is repairable in accordance with established procedures described within this article. See STANDARD PROCEDURE .
