Hey guys, I have a TINY tear (not all the way through yet, just the top layer, and the bottom inside layer). It is one inch long and less then 2mm across. Any suggestions? Tried a search, did not come up with much. Use a vinyl glue? a small piece of fabric? it is not a joint area, or a seam area. Seems like a bird landed on the car and picked at the top with one talon.

*Update*

Went to my local dealership (Dublin Honda) and the guy i showed the little tear to seemed receptive. He told me to bring it back Tuesday because only the service manager can authorize a top replacement.
*Cross fingers*

 

patch it to prevent any tension on it, that way it won't tear any further

 

there are a few long threads about it. i read through some of them and bookmarked them on my home computer. if you search for site wide you'll find them.

my top hasn't tear yet, but i can see the wear marks from the inside. i just wanna patch it before it tears, but haven't got around it yet. just wondering if there's any shop that sells ready patch material that patches vinyl.

 

search is your friend

 

i've just googled and found this

Search is not my friend on s2ki. Worst search ever.

 

let me google that for you

 

there you go hehe..

 

lol. Ok, I fail. Thank you.

 

I would just take it to Honda and ask if they can replace it under warranty! That's what I did, I got a new top, but in the process, they scratched my paint so I need to take it back to get repainted....
