I have found a damaged one and was woundering how hard is it to fix the damage. Has anyone done much fibre glass work before if so any pointers or cost of getting it fixed professionally. I will have to paint a new hardlid anyway so I am trying to find a second hand lid. the damage dosnt look that bad.

I would prob advise ringing a few boat builders and try and get a quote. it would be hard to give anymore advice without knowing whats actually damaged on it.

Wouldnt be structural (I doubt hard lids would have much structural support anyway)should be a cheap repair or you could have a crack at it yourself for fun although for something that small the cost of getting all the materials to begin with prob isnt worth it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38255-fixing-hardlid/#findComment-574406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and im a tradie looking to "actually" use my ute as the occasional timber carrier, so if there are any innovative suggestions on how to use racks in combo with a hard top please let me know....photos up soon Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38255-fixing-hardlid/#findComment-574435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
