Has anyone renewed the color on their convertible top?
I own a 99 XK8 with a black convertible top. The top has faded and the threads are very noticeable. Has anyone tried dyeing their top? I was thinking of getting some black Rit fabric dye and trying that. Are there any other products out there that would do the job?

I haven't but have had a friend use this with good results. If it is not a fabric top.
