    Tonneau Cover Vinyl Repair

    So the part of my tonneau cover that hangs is all split to hell, and the metal brace in it is about to fall out. What sort of adhesive will stick this material so I can seal it up?

    Well, one of the t-tops wasn't latched real well… God only knows where that t-top flew off to at 150+ mph. Didn't scratch the car or anything, just a boom and it was gone. I sure as hell didn't stop to see where it went. I didn't see any stories on the news… so that's a plus.

    Mine was not that bad but I used Crazy Glue and let it sit overnight
    clamped by clothes pins.
    A strong epoxy should hold the seams together.
    Selling left over z31 parts from an 85.

    I used elmers contact cement and a small brush. I coated both edges a half inch wide and let them dry for about a half hour. Then I cut two strips of wood the lenght of the seam and clamped them every six inches on both sides of the seam.
