Foxy seems to have developed a very small tear at the drivers side near the bottom which will of course only get worse. I know it's a common problem but any ideas to repair it please. Mastik or something similar maybe? It's not noticeable at the moment but it will spread I'm sure. :'(
Hi Jane,
I've not repaired a vinyl top on an MR before, but I have done a bit of vinyl repair.
I think on on-line shop for a little vinyl repair Kit. (Shop wisely)
I would clean the area thoroughly prepare a patch from durable fabric and glue it in place with flexible glue, clamping it or applying pressure, while it drys.
Then a surface treatment vinyl repair liquid.
If you Google 'vinyl repair' you'll find videos of repair methods.
It'll be a fun 'crafyy' little project
Thank you Carolyn, I'll have a look. :)
My roof's been held together by duct tape for a good while now. Forgot how good the stuff is :)
Before I replaced my roof, the repair I made when I bought the car involved a couple of packs of Millets waterproof repair patches and a tube of their waterproof seam sealer. It stopped the leak for a season.
Go on, you know Foxy would love a new "hat" from the nice Mr Smith in Swansea! Something to look forward to after isolation
Maybe get some spare material from
Someone breaking and bond over the split (if possible from behind)
Sounds like you have a split in the same place as me
