I got a surprise today when a brief rain forced me out of my lunch diner to put up the top. Some debris from a mouse nest flew out of a fold and there was a nasty stain. Worst of all, there were two little holes and one large one (about 1" x 2") chewed in the
vinyl top (not the window). I realized that I hadn't opened the convertible top in over a year, and clearly that was a mistake what with the little inhabitants of my detached garage near the woods. I will go after the little buggers with traps and poison and
maybe the black racer that joined me during a woodworking project earlier in the week. I have had snakes take up residence in the past (occasional shed skins visible in the loft), and I let them be.

My immediate goal is to get my rain protection back. Because I seldom deploy the top, I do not care much about having a pristine appearance. I am considering just trying to patch the holes (if I can first clear up the yellowed window with Plast-X). Amazon has
a product (Gear Aid Jeep Soft Top Repair Kit, $21) that has much better reviews than others, but it seems to come only in black, and my top is tan. Has anyone used this or another product, and is there one in tan? I suspect I could get a shop to do the job,
but I'm pretty far away from any such shop, and I don't want to have to detach the top or leave the car somewhere distant. I really have very little to lose by giving it a try. If it doesn't go well, I drive to a shop or buy a new top.

FYI to brian kemp and randall.? Borrowed a friends meter and found that my battery was putting out 12.8 volts instead of the 51.? Dunno why my meter failed me but must be worthless.? I had put it away still turned on instead of shutting it off.? I'm wondering
if that burned something out or ruined the meter.? It has been several years since I used it.<br>
Anyway all is well.? Update on another issue in the past.? I had complained of llittle heat coming from a new heater I had put in the tr-3, which had been overhauled so had clean passages ect.? I had routed the outlet heater hose up over the heater which I
think caused a partial or full air lock.? Seems not enough pressure to take the water straight up and over.? This past winter I switched the hose to down under the heater making it much easier for the water to pass and circulate.? I'm getting much hotter air
from the heater and also think the car is running cooler than before.? Just a note to anyone having the same problem or issue.<br>
Someone mentioned getting a good job done at small independent shops.? I have found that some of these places can do excellent work for a fraction of the cost of "well known" shops.? I had an Amishman who builds/repairs buggys cover my side screens? and did
a great job.? If memory serves me it was around 50 bucks apiece.? Also had a flywheel shaved for much less than 100.? It does take some searching and asking around to find them but when a good one is found it's a treasure.<br>
thats all<br>
