²structural adhesive (3M brand or an equivalent
product);
²glazing putty;
²aluminum foil; and
²plastic spreader.
HARD TOP HOLE REPAIR
(1) Use a grinder to remove the paint and outline
the damaged area. Use a grade 24 grit disc for paint
removal.

sary to stop-drill the crack(s) with a 3-mm (1/8-in) di-
ameter drill bit.
(4) Position a fiberglass mat or cloth on the repair
surface area. Cut the mat to allow a 2.5-cm (1-in)
overlap of the repair surface area.
(5) Clean the repair surface area.
(6) Place the fiberglass cloth on aluminum foil.
(7) Pour the fiberglass resin into a clean container.
