Copydex, it's flexible when dry.

How much was the material?

Copydex and some roof material. For a donation I can pop some old roof material into the post! I have started cutting up for other members here.

Mine was exactlyt like that. I sealed the hole from the inside with black sealant and then covered that with a sticky felt patch on the inside. I have some pictures at home. From the outside you can't see it.

Right my plan of action is to bung it with wet suit sealant from the inside, so it slightly pushes out any holes to the outside, then once that's dried copydex an oem roof patch on the inside of it.

Hopefully that should last a while.
