- 1998 VS Commodore Ute
I did originally post this in the VS Thread (now deleted) but it seems to be more appropriate in the spray painting thread.
See photo on facebook of my hard top on my VS ute. See this gallery...

I have a 98 VS commodore ute with a textured black tonneau hard lid. Its getting a bit old and crappy plus it leaks water through the pinchweld edging and under and onto the material then drip onto stuff inside.
The pinchweld needs replacing. I found that on ebay here: Pinchweld Edge Protector Rubber Seal 66 8295 7mm Wide X 18mm High Sold BY MTR | eBay
Here is the top of the hard lid: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204431820862213&set=a.10204432257873138.1073741850.1432075712&type=3&theater
My question is: How do I clean the lid top and possibly repaint it? Is this possible? If so , what paint do I use?
With the underneath, the material is rotten and old looking. What is this material called and where do I buy it please?
thanks guys
PS just got new struts and rubber around back edge of tub to prevent water leaking in. As you know this model has poor drainage and you have to invent your own with clarke rubber sealing.
