Poptop screen

[Gweedo]

Advice needed! Our screen in the front of our Poptop has split in a couple of places, where the strap causes it to crease when folded down. Not sure if a repair is possible but otherwise can the screen be replaced without having to put in a whole new roof canvas?

Thanks

Try clear sail repair tape if you need a temp fix. Sometimes it's also called Heli tape. It's like thick version of very sticky clear cellotape. Cut a square peice to cover the damage and then cut round cures at the corners of the square. Stick your new patch on over the hole. Use two prices. Onc on the inside and the outside. Not elegant, but a quick repair to keep you water tight.

Thank you, will try that in the short term.
Ideally I need to find somewhere near Suffolk that can replace it without having to change the whole roof canvas which is fine. Any recommendations gratefully received!

Had this on one of myT5’s and it was a full canvas replacement, canvas only with diy fit was £350 4 years ago. No one would even look at it. Roof was 4years old
One of the many reasons I now have a highroof.

I suspected as much! Thank you

Someone like Jeckells in Wrexham may be able to assist. They are sailmakers but also make canopies
