Default My top finally ripped today

It ripped right behind the passenger window were it always happens. I noticed it starting to wear about a year ago so i made patches from the inside in all the spots the top wears. Well it finally tore all the way through. My patch is still there. I went and bought a pematex vinal repair kit so i'm in the process of fixing it now. I will post pics when i'm done. I drive with the top down most of the time but it's still dissapointing






Here is the finished repair. Came out pretty good.

Sorry to hear. I have the same wear behind my passenger window as well. I'm guessing probably another year for me before it rips. Anyways, good luck with the fix.

Just cover the are with black duct tape. It sounds ghetto, but it blends in and no one even notices. Plus when it wears down, just replace the tape and you've got brand new top protection. Simple as cake. Mmm... Cake
