Top repair Has anyone tried to patch small holes in the convertible material? I have a couple of small holes on the side of my top about the size of a dime. I don't want them to get any bigger so any ideas of what could be used to get me by until I can replace the top. |
Duct tape? No, seriously ... just get a new top. My vert has some tattered areas in the top (none are dime-sized, though) and the guy that had the car before me tried to fix them with a silicone or epoxy or something, and now it looks like my top is covered in spots of tree sap. It turned the canvas darker (wet looking) where he applied it. I'm saving up for a new top, and I can't wait to get it! I can't think of anything that will fix those holes without looking very ghetto. Sorry. Oh, one more thing ... warm weather is here ... why would you put your top up anyway unless it's raining? |
i agree that you should just bite the bullet and buy a new top. topsonline.com has VERY NICE high quality cloth tops with GLASS windows, like what i have on my car, for $400 :nod: if you only patch the holes, they will look very cheesy. sure it will fix your problem, but it's not going to look good at all. just my $0.02 |

If you're dead-set on doing it yourself you might want to pull off the top and use iron-on denim patch material from the inside. Lon |
