Just thought I would share.

I bought one of these from eBay.



The stitching was coming away from the window and it was such small area that it wasn't worth taking the roof off to have a new window stitched in. This little gadget made very light work of it and it looks OK.

Forgot to take a before picture but here is the after one.



The thread is a bit obvious at the moment but that shouldn't take too long to get dirty!

Run over the stitching with a permanent marker.

Rub your finger on the inside of a wheel, rub it on the stitching. Nice job, my Mrs says.....high praise indeed.

Top tips, thanks guys. thumbup

I was fully expecting to make a complete mess of it to be honest and I was dubious as to how strong it would be but it seems fine to me.
