i bought a goretex patch kit and it was self adhesive. did the job at keeping the water out and preventing more damage, but it doesn't prevent hydroplaneing accidents.

Whered you get the Goretex kit at? I just purchased a leather/ vinyl repair kit from Autozone but something tells me I should refrain from using it on the top.
