Re: Fibreglass hi roof repair advice
Hi,
From your photo the fibre glass damage looks minimal so an ordinary fibre glass repair kit, Halfords etc would do fine or probably Isopon or similiar.
You may want to investigate the metal work behind the fibre glass. There are threads on the forum about rust under high tops. After reading them you might want to have a re think.

I agree - the fibreglass repair is immaterial until you have real metal under there. Be prepared for a horror show though.

Noted. Thing is the only way to check that is to take the roof off and I have neither the means nor the money to undertake something like that.Oldiebut goodie wrote:I agree - the fibreglass repair is immaterial until you have real metal under there. Be prepared for a horror show though.
