I'm re-doing my targa top. Pulled off the old carpet roof liner. Is replacing this necessary? Does it do anything other than look good? Does it deaden sound, keep out heat, etc?

I was just going to paint the inside satin black. The top/outside will be sprayed with Wurth undercoating and then painted satin black.

The top is somewhat flexible, not sure if this matters, but I thought I'd mention it. I figure the Wurth is flexible and I might consider putting a flex agent in the paint so it won't crack/spider.

The perlon liner helps with both sound insulation & reflection a bit, & heat transfer thru the top a bit - IMHO. Here in SoCal & the hot Southwest even a little bit of heat blocking can help, since sometimes it's way too hot to also have the top off & cooking you.

It's just a spray adhesive application, so you can easily do as George suggests & try it without.

Your Wurth Schutz + Satin Black paint application is correct, & you can find some topics in the O&H Forum on redoing them, & if you use google search they'll come up better than the search function on here.

The FG tops do have some flex in them, but after you strip the old paint & schutz, check carefully for cracks - even hairline ones. If you have some, then you may need to do a new gel coat coating, & if bad cracks then do the FG cloth repair to reinforce on the underside preferably, then shape & smooth to match.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
