Closed car top dressing?

scott12180 · 2007-04-01T15:44:30.000Z

I have a recently acquired 1932 Packard Victoria Coupe. The top insert appears to be originaland is in good shape. However, being original I am concerned that it is brittle and may be proneto leaks should I get caught in the rain. (And that will happen eventually.)Any suggestions for a top dressing or sealant that I can apply to waterproof the top?I am specially concerned about the edges where the top meets the body. I expect this wouldleak first. Thanks --- Scott

I used both blackwall tire dressing and plain old butcher's paste wax over the years, both seemed to work at keeping the headliner (34 Packard sedan) dry for a season or so.
