Repairing soft top?
so i have a small tear on my soft top, its on the passenger side right above the roll hoop. its about maybe 5 millimeters long and not that wide, but if you look at it in daylight it is clearly there. i was wondering how i could repair this? is their any soft top repair kit that is sold for this type of problem? thanks ahead of time

you can also try this vinyl patch material they sell on amazon (forget the exact name, I can look it up when I get home). Flexes withe vinyl on the top as it folds and is waterproof and self adhesive.

Tear aid type B works for minor tears. For larger tears, buying a piece of soft top material (there are folks selling it here on this site) and patching it with RTV silicon is the best bet. I use this method for a rather large 3.5" tear and it's working like a charm.

Thanks guys i think i'll go with the U GLU fabric tape, just looked it up on amazon.com and it looks good. My tear isnt that big so it seems like the best solution.

For a temporary not very permanent fix use black silicon! Lol it works good enough to keep the rain out for a while if you keep the car out side while your waiting for the good stuff to fix it. : P
