Soft top awkward tear repair?
Hi! Does anyone know of a good fix for this, other than replacing the top altogether? Rest of the hood is great, it’s just this tear on both sides... Thanks!https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...1395012c4.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...596c90deb.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...ca4d05e9e.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...85a422724.jpeg |
Looks like a new top is needed, bad spots for tears.

Looks just like mine,...……...
mine has been like it for 5 yrs+,i have trimmed mine and folded it and glued. Needs to be sprayed with a protector <a must do>its lasted 5 yrs+ it has not got worse..its an oem from 04MY roof. :fingerscrossed: |
I bought some canvas repair tape from Amazon. I used it to reinforce my top to prevent tears. But I also used it to repair hooes in my Sperry Topsider canvas boat shoes, and to repair a nice linen shirt.
In both cases, forcing the torn areas back into origanl shape as I applied the tape to the back, made a strong, flexible repair tbat manages to be durable and not too bad looking. Its cheap and easy enough to try. It will be a pain to get the patch in place though, simce in such a tight corner. |
Some of that can be sewed, but some of that can't be. I would take it to a upholstery shop that also does tops and see what they can do. If they can fix it it will be a lot less than a new top.
