lordlee Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hi Before purchasing my car it was subject to a slit in the roof from a vandal. Anyway I noticed that the long standing glue repair has failed today so I have put some silicone in to keep it watertight. Can a slit be sewn shut and be watertight or is it time for a new roof? I'd kinda prefer a second hand as it keeps it original - so what is my best option - repair or replace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get a good quality, leak free, new replacement matching the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Hood Warehouse Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi,I think it's time for a new hood. There isn't a repair that can be offered that would be/look good. I also wouldn't go down the second hand route as they're likely to disappoint. If you would like to get in touch for a quote please do so. We offer a mobile fitting service to Reading.

lordlee Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thank you for the advice but i went a little against it and I bought a 2nd hand genuine hood in excellent condition as I couldn't turn down the price. How much do you charge for a mobile fitment in the Reading area? Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
