sprayhood screen tear

[wotayottie]

I have a perfectly good sprayhood with a one inch slit in the (otherwise good condition) transparent window plastic.

How can I repair it?

You can try a tube of Vinyl Weld.(Not sure if its evo stick or loctite these days) I used to see it in all the DIY shops but for some reason I couldn't see any the last few times I've been in.

It may or may not work, but is worth a try. I used it effectively on the rear screen of a sportscar hood which developed a small crack.

I reckon it will work . I had a tear in a "window" in a tent , went to local camping shop who supplied spare transparent vinyl and adhesive .Worked a treat .

Or, take it to an awnings specialist. Not expensive (as they are caravan people, not yot people)

The vinyl weld I have bought comes with a piece of tranparent vinyl. Should do the trick and put off complete replacement for a few years.

Hi, I used some of this clear polythene all-weather tape to repair some holes in a tarpauline, after 6 months it was still well stuck, and in better nick than the rest of the tarp. I think it would be good reinforcement to a glued repair.
