What would be the best way to repair a very small (2mm) tear in the
vinal soft top?
Is this something that one can reasonably do ones self?
Where it is there is no problem with access to the back side of the tear.

Thanks.

I would think that you could have very good success with a bicycle intertube
repair kit for a tear that small.

That is kind of what I was thinking - that or a repair patch for tent.
I was just hoping to tap into the voice of experience before I run the
risk of botching up the job.
Thanks.

I've used an "iron on " patch on the back of convertible tops before with
pretty good results...
