Damaged Roof canvas!

Post by Kerry Allen » Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:26 pm

Hi Everyone,

While touring around Ireland last September, it was a touch windy (We were in Dublin the day the Hurricane hit northern Ireland) and a small damaged area in my roof canvas has now split to become quite a long tear.

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get it fixed in the Sussex or south Kent area, Or is there some form of tape or patch kit available for me to mend it myself?

Thanks

A lot of people suggest Tenacious Tape, never needed yet but several sources and available on Ebay as well http://tinyurl.com/7accxnc

thanks guys!

that tenacious tape looks good, and has nothing but good reviews on Amazon, Think I'll try that first, and if it doesn't last I can then try a pro. repairer.
