Tiny Hole in Softtop

Postby Moto » Wed Oct 22, 2008 9:50 am

Hi,

I have a small hole in my soft top and I was wondering what I should use to patch it? It started as a pin hole and is now about 3mm across so it's getting bigger.

Thanks

Just patch it up quickly before it becomes a real problem.

I've given instructions here before about how to do it, but basically get a pice of similar vinyl (from Clarke Rubber or similar) and glue it on the inside fo the roof.

You'll hardly notice it afterwards.

You should investigate how the hole appeared though, as it might start again.

I bought this soft top repair thing off ebay

came from the UK

the stuff looks like clear glue i used it to patch the hole from the inside

let it dry overnight by the morning it was dry but still flexy which is good
