Tiny holes in soft top

Postby marcusus » Thu Feb 11, 2010 1:14 pm

So I've got a few tiny holes developing along some seam points in my soft top, and was wondering whether anyone has any tips for repair?

Failing that, does anyone know of somewhere in and around Perth that does soft top repair?

Hi Marcusus
Have a look at this post below it has heaps of info and hoew to repair in. I used some canopy material off cut from a boat/motor trimmer cut a 100mm round patch and glued it with contact adhesive and its still looks good.
If it along the seam though it might be a different issue. You could try seam sealer for tents its in a stick that you rub on to seal the seam on tents.

Thanks for the info Dale. I'll check it out when I've got a bit more spare time, and my laptop isn't crapping itself.

Regie, not gonna be at good vibes. Anyone else coming over with you or are you flying solo?
