Got one on mine too really been wanting to patch it up instead if using gorilla tape. Is there something better than gorilla tape i should be using? Seems to do the job, just have to put a new piece on everytime i put the top down and back up

see if anyone just got their tops replaced. or just go to a local shop that does tops and see if you can scavenge some patches.

i have a little bit left. what size patch(s) do you need? just cover shipping and paypal fees and it's yours. if anyone has old tops, cut up the fabric and sell patches on here. they sell pretty fast and work well. i sold patches from 3 or 4 tops last yr outside of metro. they were free for metro since the tops came from metro members. i have a few on the inside of my top and they've held up for 2 yrs now. i use a black flexible silicon from pep boys to adhear it to the top.

ryan, if this doesnt work, hit me up for some patches.
