hi peeps

bad day yesterday im getting my car ready for paint and decided it was time for the roof to come off. Having a silly moment i took it off myself and caught it whilst lifting it down now i have a little rip on the inner skin :punish: might be a silly question but will super glue fix it for the time bein? its only small rip but dont want it getting any worse

Hi,

 

Superglue isn't flexible so you will end up making it worse and not being able to repair it properly as it will go all crusty and bits will break off. Personally I would repair with a small patch of vinyl similar to the lining material and glue this on with a flexible adhesive such as Stormsure which you can buy in a chandlery or from Amazon. You would have a pretty permanent repair then. It wont be invisible but it will be neat unlike a crusty looking superglue repair.

hi cathy

nice to see the posts still get good replys after all this time

dwaynes cabby has been through lots of changes since this post lol

 

good idea on the repair patch too :>) if you have a new roof fitted ask the fitter to give you the material that they cut out to fit the rear window

 

regards ollie
