& and a jar of rubber cement.

Slide patch between rail and vinyl canvas apply layer of rubber cement to the surface of the patch and the top. Let dry then stick together. They will be inseparable
I like this idea.

I've got a particularly stubborn tear about 3" long that has resisted the normal methods (tearaid). The rubber cement should form a stronger bond and hold better.

Don't use gorilla tape it dosen't adhere well to vinyl & will leave huge residue especially in warm weather.
