Default Small Rip in Convertible Roof ?

I got a small Rip in my S2K Rooftop,

It's around a 2 inch rip, very small,

anyways, is there a cheap fix without getting an entirely new roof cover ??

Yes... you want "Tearaid Type B". I will say though that a 2" rip is fairly large and most patching solutions start to lose effectiveness with large rips - especially if they are over a stress point.

I just patched a 2 1/2" rip in my top, but since it's over a stress point, the patch stretches a bit whenever I lower my top. Hopefully it'll hold up.

Good luck.

most likely if you wanted tearaid you'd have to order it, unless you have a cabelas or something nearby. a cheaper and quicker way is to just get black gorrilla tape from walmart and put it on the inside. excellent adhesive.
