I've bought myself a cheap MK3 MR2 to have some fun with over the summer.

It has a few minor niggles which I'm in the process of sorting. One of which is a small tear to the hood as shown below.



I want to do something with it before it gets any worse.

I've seen a product on eBay called Cabriodoc which ships from Germany I might try, but wondered before doing so if anybody here has done similar and what they'd recommend doing.

Failing that, roughly what would an upholsterer charge to repair something like this?

Any ideas?

I've since been quoted £70 by an upholsterer, which is good but a good DIY job is always more satisfying smile

Obtain some vinyl, some vinyl glue, make patch around 80mm dia, patch from below.
Thanks, do I then need to fill the top so that the split can't be seen?
