Convertible soft tops
Repair and restoration of soft tops, rear window replacement — both plexiglass and glass.
More about this serviceFrom Olsztyn and Warmia we mainly get convertibles — roofs, windows and interiors that spend half the year open to the sun.
A convertible has two problems at once: a soft top that ages faster than the bodywork, and an interior exposed to full sun every time the roof is down.
We repair and restore soft tops and replace the rear window — both plastic and glass. A clouded, yellowed plastic window is the most common reason a car looks older than it is.
Leather in an open car stiffens fastest of all. Softening and protection with a UV filter are not an extra here but a condition for it not cracking at the folds within two seasons.
Ideally in autumn or winter. In spring everyone remembers their convertible in the same week and lead times get long.
Olsztyn is about two hours from Gdańsk. For a roof alone, the car usually stays with us for a few days.
Each of these services has its own page — with a description, the course of work and photos.

More about this serviceLeather exposed to the sun goes stiff — fastest of all in a car. Softening brings back its suppleness before it starts to crack.

More about this serviceA lighter option for leather that isn't damaged, just tired: cleaning, conditioning and protection without re-colouring.
More about this serviceThe interior of a convertible gets more sun than any other car. The leather on the tops of the backrests and on the headrests fades and hardens fastest, and the soft top loses its tightness at the seams and where the mechanism folds.
We repair and restore soft tops, replace windows — plastic and glass — and seal the seams. With a tear at a fold we also check the mechanism, because that is most often the cause: the roof tears at the spot that is constantly under tension when folding.
Leather that has hardened from the sun is softened first and only then coloured. Finally a protector with a UV filter — in a convertible it is the only thing that really extends the time until the next restoration.
The workshop is in Gdańsk, ul. Litewska 12 — Olsztyn is about 136 km away in a straight line.
Send a photo of the whole thing and a close-up of the damage, or just give us a call. From that we tell you whether it can be saved.
We give you the scope of work and the price. If restoration isn't worth it, we'll say so plainly — it happens, and it's better to hear it before than after.
Cleaning, damage repair, re-colouring, protection. On larger jobs we send you progress photos.
We tell you what to care for the leather with and what damages it fastest. That usually decides whether the result lasts for years.
The quickest way is this: a photo of the whole item, a close-up of the damage and a note on what the item or part is. On that basis we'll tell you whether it can be saved and what it will cost.
