So, /o/, there was a HUGE hole on the outer portion of my convertible top, and I won't have the money to shell out to get it replaced for quite a few months. How long, and at what speeds can I expect this Gorilla Glue duct tape solution to last for?
What would some other methods be to fix it while I save for a replacement?
>Inb4 buy a non-convertible
Shit was way closer and cheaper than any coupe version.

In the sun like expect less then a week duct tape doesn't hold for shit in that type of environment

That will probably hold for quite some time if you keep it out of the sun. If you notice it pulling off smooth it back down right away.

I want to see the hole from the inside

I work nights, and can keep it under a car cover during the day, unless I'm driving it.
>>15940490
I'll do above, will put it under cover immediately.
>>15940497
Doesn't go all the way to the inside. It's a 2 layer top, but the outside hole was pretty much this spot circled in red, and at any speed past 70 mph it made a horribly loud flapping noise.

It looks line you live in the desert I also live in the desert it won't hold the sand hear and sun will destroy that patch my suggestion is to glue trap or canvas pieces esp since your outlined how isn't that big but don't expect much out of the tape you'll notice it start to lift from the canvas in a few days

Boat cover patches would probably do it.

Well, SoCal might as well be a desert at this point. Doesn't seem like a big hole on that picture, but it's actually rather large. I'd consider a canvas patch, but my concern is having it attach to the window portion.

Use speed tape.

Isn't that just duct tape or is that aluminum tape?
>>
>>15941245
Aluminum tape. Used to patch aircraft.
>>
>>15940487
That's not duct tape you retard, that's gorilla tape.
It will do fine for months assuming the top was clean when it was applied.
But don't expect to repair the top now, it's going to be more cost effective to replace the entire top than it will be to clean the adhesive off.

If it's going to be out in the sun just put sunscreen on it
