Fix holes in vinyl?

E90MIA · 10-24-2011, 12:39 PM

Vinyled my roof this weekend, and being the first time i tared a small piece by the drivers side sunroof area. Its about 1/2 inch big. anybody know of a fix for this or a way to patch it up?

Though nobody would probably see it, I would just patch it up.

One thing that's worked for me in the past is, if the hole's not too big, you heat it up and stretch the existing vinyl around it to cover the hole.

You can also cut a small piece out around the tear and then cut a piece the exact same size and put it in.
