Just bought some waterproofer for my rag top MK2.
Not the usual well known proofer @ £18 per litre but a very good proofer @ £25ish for 5 litres. Suitable for rag tops only, canvas etc.
Go to HLS Supplies to order HLS FS-75 Fabric sealer. You will not be disappointed.

Waterproofing rag tops
Re: Waterproofing rag tops
As in good for mohair top, or vinyl.
Re: Waterproofing rag tops
It has to be capable of being absorbed or it will not be effective. My MK2 has what I would call a canvas top. This proofer goes straight in and drys very quickly.
Owners must decide if it is suitable themselves, not too difficult.

So Mohair type tops, not vinyl, simple question as a vinyl topper, I am always looking for alternatives to my Merrs.
