The dodger was in very good shape except for the sumbrella on the top bow. I guess it is so tight in that area that the sun destroyed the fibers. Also. some of the stitching was coming loose so a trip to the upholstery shop was in order. I had some extra sumbrella in the same color so I asked the upholsterer to sew a double layer of sumbrella over the damaged area. He re stitched the whole thing, including all the zippers. After looking at it, and seeing how foggy my Isinglass was, I asked him to go ahead and replace all the glass in it. The dodger has quite a bit of life left in it and after checking on new prices, this redo was a lot cheaper. I plan to use it during the off season mainly, and store it below when not in use. It should add to it's life quite a bit.
you cant tell how yellow the glass was until you see through the new windows.
