So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Achieve A Successful Convertible Top Replacement

By Essie Osborn


In this century, a car is one of the most essential things one must have. They make it convenient for one to commute between places. However, so much pomp and glamour has been added to the vehicles that everyone wants to have something unique. A good number of people are going in for cars that have roofs that can be folded back and forth. Changing the convertible top replacement can be challenging.

The foregoing statement is only true if you are ill equipped for the task. Do not think of being equipped as having the right paraphernalia for the job. It also involves having accurate information about it. Yet again, your resolve and will power to get things right will determine if you complete the task successfully. For a new task, you may have start up difficulties, but you will soon get it if you are ready.

Never begin any project unless you are sure of all the requirements. It is one of the things that make people to fail in life. Poor preparations will eventually ruin your outcome. If you want to be successful, get to know all the requirements for this project. It also eliminates chances of your project stalling midway. You can walk into shops that sell those accessories to get more advice regarding the same.

Almost all types of detachable roofs have the same kind of installation instructions. Usually, the top part is stapled to the holding frame using tack strips. The type of tack strip used depends on the age of your car. Modern cars use vinyl rubber materials while their older counterparts use cardboard. Vinyl rubber is a superior material, as it is not spoilt with water like cardboard does.

Metal frames are used together with cardboards. Cardboards absorb moisture and create a heavy rust deposit on the metal. It is important for one to be well equipped with knowledge on how to clean the rust deposit. Find out the easiest way to remove the rust deposit and the tool, which you should use. It is not always an easy task and you should always have prepared yourself adequately.

The old models of convertibles have well liners and water troughs. These are to help direct the water from the cardboards when it rains or when the car is being washed. However, the small tubs there-in have very thin plastic making them vulnerable. New models of motor vehicles have known better to avoid that technology. They use fabricated fiberglass instead. It is durable and more convenient.

Powered roofs are more convenient. They are easy to use, as you do not have to adjust it manually all the time. At the same time, you need to ensure the movable and serviceable parts are always in good shape. During replacement of the roof, ensure these parts are working well so you do not install a new roof on defunct parts.

Do not forget to get the right appliances for this job, including tools. Most importantly, you will need an air compressor, professional glue and a staple gun. However, make sure you purchase genuine accessories.
