Has anyone replaced the rope within the rub rail on a late 70's to early 80's CC?
I am considering doing this but was hoping someone could point me to the proper type and size rope to use. Thanks, Dave |

Good question. I just watched my buddy rip mine out because a section was coming apart at the back. I wanted to smack him.

I used nylon twisted rope, which is kind of soft. I wanted to find twisted polyester but could only find it in contractor (500 ft) quantity online. I think that would be more durable.
This really is a pretty easy refurb project, except if you take the rub rail completely off like I did - that was hard to get back on straight. |
