I'd use the search but it seems to be down again Anyway, I remember searching a while back and found these products on this page;

The Stormsure and Neoprene Queen look ok but has anyone has any experiences? Or should I take it to a specialist and get the patch 'welded on' to the hood? The little tears are the ones where the a-pillar should be, so want to sort it before it gets worse!

Cheers.

Nobody's ever patched their S2000 hood? The hood that's notoriously known for being rubbish?

Nick Graves

Not really; these were expensive cars once upon a time and they were treated accordingly and a new roof fitted, if the old one was sufficiently neglected to tear.

Adhesive is not usually an acceptable solution for a variety of reasons.

Most people have used those 2 adhesives and have found them to be okay - AFAIK.

I couldnt remember the names of them before sorry, whatever you dont use bicycle repair kit adhesive like some people it doesnt last 5 minutes.

Thanks for the replies.

I know Nick, but that's not the case anymore and not only that but a new hood in my opinion for the sake of a >1cm tear would be unnecessary.

Nick Graves

IKWYM, but it depends why it tore; either the material had worn thin, or was under excessive tension or both.

A 1cm tear is likely very quickly to end up a 1" tear and so forth...

there's nothing worse than a tear that goes all imperial on you!!!!

Like Napoleon, it's the little tears that are a big PIA!
