Mine are narrow tears, where the material is slivered, so I need something more than goop. $8.00 is not to much, double that for Type A and Type B. I am going to try it.

Just an update....I installed the Tear-Aid Type-B on the two tears in my rear windows and I really like how this product installs and looks. It is incredibly sticky and seals very well. I also used the Type-A on a couple of sliver tears in my roof, and it went on just as well. Since the product is clear, once you apply it and smooth it out, it blends very well with the green canvas and vinyl windows. I have to buy a couple more strips of the Type-B, as I didn't have enough in the one box to seal both sides of the window tears.

I've ordered 2 6" x 30' rolls of this for an unrelated work project, but I'm sure I will try a little on my front canvas to cover that old pinhole repair. Sounds promising...... :D

The repairs I made to my "windows" using TA-B are holding up great. The only TA-A issue is on the roof where I noticed one corner is lifting, but I chalk that up to application. The other strip on the roof is holding up well.
