Soft Top Repairs

Post by landy »

Any suggestions on repairing small pinholes in the soft top, a rubber patch compound, or? Thanks.

Clean the spot well. I believe I have used MEK. Then a raft repair kit is usually a pvc based patch like our tops.

I haven't tried this yet, but I found a surplus Swiss backpack that is made out of the same material as the top and was going to use it to make some patches. It seems like contact cement of some sort would work to glue them together.

I used a piece of scrap OEM Pinz canvas top material and used Gorilla Glue to attach it and it has held up just fine.
