So, my top finally ripped where they normally do on the passenger side, over the right shoulder. I've got a piece of Gorilla Tape on there right now but, is there anything that works better for a quick fix for the time being? I just don't want water seeping in if it rains.

 

My patch is a piece of canvas bag and goop. Holding strong for about 8 months now.

 

I had used another piece of an old top with automotive glue. Oit worked well for a few months but I drop my top daily. The patch eventually fell apart....

 

When I got rips in my top I used shoe goo. From what I read it stayed very playable and I thought it would hold up. I WAS WRONG. It go hard and now the edges are peeling and I cant tear it off cause I am afraid it might tear it more.

What I ended up using and what I recommend is Black silicone RTV and a piece of the cloth or what I used, a piece of vinyl from the fabric store. The RTV is still flexible and soft and the vinyl is holding up great.

 

could we get where you got it? web site or like home depo?
cause mines been ripped for the longest time and i dont put my top down which is one of the best
parts of the s ):

 

The black RTV? You can get small bottles of it at an auto parts store as gasket sealer... I think I found mine at the dollar store actually. I know for a fact that an auto parts store will sell it in black, Home Depot will have clear and brown for sure... not sure about black though.

It takes like 24 hours to fully cure, but after that it will remain flexible forever.

 

There's a member in the clasiffieds selling strips from a top.. I bought a strip from him, now just trying to figure out what to apply it with..

 

haha thanks!!! ima go pick some up when i got some free time (:
now i just have to replace straps D:
any idea's?

 

i read somewhere best thing to do is to sew the rip together then take the RTV silicone and rubbing it over top of the spot you sewed.

 

not true!!!! i sewed it and just put the top down
a little bit and it ripped on one side making the hole bigger
but even with the rtv silicone i dont think it would have helped
