Hi all

At the moment about 10 inches of plastic has ripped out the stitching (top right corner), but I fear far more will soon. Any clever ideas please how to sort it without getting the whole window and/or fabric replaced?

As ever, your help is much appreciated.

If you didn't apply much pressure and it went then all the stitching will have rotted, seems to be a common thing at the moment. It's only £300 for a complete new roof including the targa yes

That sounds VERY tempting...where?

Dave Hammerton, there's a link on The Griffith Pages here. I don't know if the Chim roof is identical but I'm sure he would. I considered getting mine restitched but if the window thread has rotted, I think all the other thread around the velcro sections etc. will have gone too.

Not worth messing around for that amount IMO.
