The Chrysler Sebring is one of America's most popular cars. Driven by many, this car is seen as an affordable vehicle to get around in style. The Sebring comes in a convertible format with two seats in the front and three in the back. Like most convertibles, normal wear and tear will eventually cause small holes, or in the worst case scenario, a tear or rip in the convertible top itself. This can be fixed with the right parts and the right format.
View your canvas. Familiarize yourself with the outline of the car you are working on, in this case the Chrysler Sebring. Use the manual to find the head of the convertible top and find the staples holding it to the front of the header bow.
Revisit the manual at any time during this procedure as the different years of Sebring have a different layout.
Remove staples from the front of the fabric. This will allow the fabric to become lose so you can replace it with the new fabric you have purchased.
Roll the fabric back. In order to do this you will need the razor to cut any leftover fabric. Roll the majority of the fabric towards you so that you may remove it from the convertible itself.
Remove the rear staples from convertible fabric; assure that all of the fabric has been removed and proceed to place rip stop tape underneath. Rip stop tape does exactly what the name says--it protects the fabric from tearing.
Cut the new fabric that you purchased so it is in the shape of the convertible top. This will take some skill, so do not rush. Draw a pattern of the convertible top onto the fabric to make this process more smooth.
Glue the new fabric to the convertible top. Make sure you first line up the fabric perfectly and then proceed to glue underneath the fabric.
Replace any staples that were removed earlier. These staples will hold the new fabric in place.
