BLOODY BASTARDS :evil:

Looks like that had two goes at it which makes it even worse!

Reported it to the police and they're coming around this arvo to complete the incident report.

Insurance want $600 in excess.

It's probably for the better but I'm sure that makes it really annoying as just a random act of vandalism. :( People suck.

Think about putting your $600 towards a hard top

There are some real dead beats in the world :x

If you have the leather doctor/ vinyl Doctor in Sydney they mat be able to help. They could put a patch on the inside and invisible mend it on the outside maybe :|

They repaired a leather lounge for me a few years back and were brilliant .

appreciate you don't want to be spending $600 on excess, but might be worth asking your insurer if they would allow you to replace your soft-top with a hardtop, so it doesn't happen again. Something in it for them, i.e. no more soft-top claims, & something in it for you. Unfortunately, still going to cost you $600 though, & for that you can get a new soft-top. MX5CHIC recommended some marine grade material for a fix if you decide to go that route:

Wow Alan,

Charming people out there?! Sorry to hear about it mate, not much you can do aboot it though.

Hardtop might be the way to go, I feel comfortable with my hardtop whenever I park it on the street knowing some knob (or multiple knobs) cant do stuff like that to the car.

Hope you get it sorted out.

See you tonight.
