Vert top repair

[freeman]

I was reading around on rx7club.com about some folks using nylon thread and sewing rips or patches in torn vert tops. I thought I would give this a shot, just a stop gap measure until I get a replacement top on down the road, but heres the deal; I was looking online for nylon thread information and came across Kevlar thread. Its pretty darn strong and not as susceptible to UV and heat as nylon but a lot stiffer. Does anyone have any experience with either nylon or Kevlar thread and which do you think would work best.

Either one should do the job. You are just looking at a slightly higher cost with the Kevlar, but we are looking at only about a $1 difference. I'd give it a try.

I bought some UV resistant outdoor polyester thread today...it was at walmart... couldn't find curved needles though, so I'll look at Hancock Fabrics and see what they have. This may not work worth a flip but worth a few bucks to try!
