Default Scratch in t-top
Hey ya all! Has anyone ever fixed a deep scratch in a t-top? I'm a little worried that it will crack someday if I don't repair it.

Thanks
Encore

If it didn't go thru the gelcoat, you could just use a spot filler and repaint it. If it cut into the fiberglass, then you should do a regular fiberglass repair.

Oh, sorry 73Shark I should have been more specific, it's a glass t top.
There are a couple pretty deep scratches, I just noticed them.
I'm a little worried they'll turn into cracks someday.

Not aware of any fixes for deep scratches in glass. Might check w/ a auto glass shop.

Welcome to the forum.

Just curious as to why you chose to repeat what I just said.
