Title: Soft top cigarette burn
Post by: Anonymous on December 14, 2005, 15:56
Hi,

I hope somebody can help with this problem.

Some scrote has stubbed a cigarette out on my soft top.  Although it hasn't burnt through it has left an unsightly fused area in the fabric.  Is this repairable and who could do it?  I've checked around and it doesn't seem a common problem but it must have happened to somebody before.

Cheers.

I had something similar some time ago...
Makes you wanna *****, doesn't it   s:evil: :evil: s:evil:  
Anyway, at the time I haven't found someone who could do a decent repair, and since a new hood is very expensive an quite a hassle, I eventually just left it like that...   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  
It's been nearly two years now, and it hasn't leaked or got worse since then.
Probably best to learn to live with it (and   s:evil: :evil: s:evil:    s:evil: :evil: s:evil:   anyome who comes near your car)   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
