The mesh/flysheet part of our roof is torn (not the green fabric)
There are a few slits in it
Does anyone know the best way to mend it for a neat, tidy look??

Most common answer to that question on here is "Tenacious Tape".

I may have a solution... I *might* be buying a Bongo to break. Gonna go and look at it today, if the gearbox sounds good I will be swapping it for mine. If the roof fabric looks good you can have 1st refusal

Actually, went to fix the mesh today with the tenacious tape but the fabric just disintergrated! further gone then we thought.
Looking to sew in new nylon mesh (don't know how easy that is) or replace the whole roof canvas. Only had the vehicle 2 weeks, it's got a 3 month warranty - d'ya think the roof fabric's covered??

Maybe it's had a lot of use... UV light tends to shaft nylon/plastics over time
Still not decided about that Bongo to break, and my mate is on his hols at them mo so no movement for now...
