Bazzzaboy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have a small tear in my Vitesse hood - it is on the corner where the silver bar goes across the hood, just above the wear window.It started small, but the constant opening and closing of the hood means that it is getting bigger.Rather then getting a complete new hood, is it possible to repair this. I am keen for a reasonable repair rather than my default of getting some gaffer gape on it!!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I would have thought if the split is going the correct way them a upholster should be able cut completely across the roof then stitch back together again,you will see a visible line across the roof though. It will depend if there's enough slack to allow the process.People love a picture on here as it helps tremendously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 How old is the hood? They get brittle as they age and that's when they start to tear. Once it's too old it really isn't worth trying to save and it'll soon get another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
