What is the roof repair kit for a Smart 450?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Convertible top

Cars are produced in different variants and with different materials, see for example the Smart car shown in the attached video, which has a polycarbonate roof. This material can tend to become opaque over time due to exposure to the elements, so a renewal treatment must be applied, based on various working processes. After carrying out a cycle of impurity removal with very fine sandpaper, the surface is cleaned and an anti-silicone product for the bodywork is applied with a sander. The process is completed by spraying the clear coat.

Want to replace the gear knob on a Mini? Follow these steps for the replacement: first, take the knob in your hands and rotate it left and right until you remove it from the gear stick.
