Default Inspection question

Quick question, If my girlfriend has a rip in the back of her convertible will it still pass inspection? I am unsure if it will pass since in a way it does cause somewhat of an obstruction to the view out of the rear window. That part hangs in a little. Is this something that would be fully up to the inspector? And also if i duct taped it would that make it better/ more presentable to pass?

Why don't you look it up in the Va Statutes and see what's up

Default Re: Inspection question

While were somewhat on the subject, Are there any cheap diy or shops around here that could fix the soft top? It's kind of hard to explain with words but it's a 2001 vw cabrio and the rear window is ripped along the top and sides, but still attached to the bottom, if that makes sense. Is that "stichatable?"

Try it and find out? It'll be worth a shot since it's already ripped.
