Question

After twelve years of grime dust and hot sun, it is almost impossible to see through the rear plastic material window of my wifes small convertible car. Anbody have any ideas how to improve the vision?

Hi Dave, the car is a fiat punto convertible. We live in Spain so you probably aren´t conversant with this type of car

Answer 1

Take it to a top shop and they can sew in a new one fairly cheap.

Answer 2

Hi, You can use Polishing Compound, Not! Rubbing Compound. Rubbing is too harsh. That might help on geting it somewhat clear to see out of it. I've had Old MG's I've done this to. It won't turn out like new & clear, but at least you can see out of it. Also, I know a place online that sells tops very resonable and have used them before. What kind of car do you have? Dave

Answer 3

Any auto upholstery shop should be able to replace it fairly cheaply.

I've had pretty good luck cleaning them up with toothpaste, of all things. Apply some to a damp sponge and rub it in to the plastic.

Answer 4

Have you tried to find a glass replacement for it yet? If not that, go go tany autozone of auto parts store. In the detailing area there should be a vinyl cleaner just for that. I think its made by blue coral. Its a crummy packaging label, but ive heard good things about it.

Good Luck!!

Answer 5

OTHER THAN REPLACING WITH NEW PLASTIC WINDOW YOU CAN USE A PRODUCT CALLED FLITZ SOLD OVER INTERNET IT WORKS GREAT ON PLASTIC STUFF LIKE YOUR WIFES REAR WINDOW..YOU RUB IT ON THEN USE A BONNET ON THE END OF A CORDLESS DRILL AND IT RUBS IT CLEAN. GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Answer 8
