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!
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.
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.
