Jordan was right! I’m totally impressed, Manny! Good job on showing us the process….Mom
This just came at the right time for me!
Great repair, gets the job done. A soft top is honestly one of the reasons I chose my suzuki cappuccino instead. Can't beat the hard top.
Hey, Manny! It's me, Uncle Dan. Nice channel here. ;)
This Manny guy is cool! Great overall video guys 🤙🏼
A modern bike puncture repair kit would probably work on small to medium holes... but I haven't tried it... john
In the long run it's best to replace the top if you can especially for resale sake.
I agree! In my case it’s a forever car that will one day be tracked, so cheap fixes for now are the go to
Just thinking, would a fine fishing line be better. Then apply the vinyl and sand back lightly to have a smooth finish. Then apply the paint ?
My theory is that the instant vinyl seeps into the threads and reinforces patch. It would be interesting to see how fishing line would work.
It's just like darning a sock. I'm quite sure NO ONE watching this darns socks anymore 🤣
Seriously? Get the new top you need!
Ha, I'm going to see the top on my Miata just like this. Why buy a new top for my autocross toy?
