Stock Roll Bar Cover Faded

[Rubi Freak]

Sun has faded the roll bar cover. Wanted to check in and see what you guys are using to get the black back. Wasn't sure if there is a good product out there. I didn't want to mess with black dye if its not necessary and thanks for the input.

Most people do not try to "dye" the original, not only is it faded, but its probably almost dry rotted.

Here are two popular options:

1- purchase all new factory or aftermarket covers. Pricey

2- pull all the padding and spray paint it with a color as close to matching as your body color. Most use a low gloss/satin color.

Sharkey and I were just talking about this. He thinks I should go old school with some foam and a roll of duct tape. He's not even wanting me to wait until it fades.

:cheesy:

Brother, that was what I used to do. And to be correct, it is stolen, pieced together home air conditioning foam insulation, held together with electrical tape :thumb:

I think using some pool noodles would really make the duct tape POP!:yup:

some of that zebra or cheetah duck tape would look sweet too :cheesy:

I took mine off when it started fading and used the duplicolor bedliner. I raptor lined my tub and want to go back and raptor line my roll bars, but they're actually holding up well (going on 3+ years). I'd like to add a cage and will probably do it then since they usually come in bare metal.
