Vinyl Convertible Top Repair Kit Does It Work??

Trying to patch holes in a Mazda Miata NC soft top using a readily available vinyl soft top repair kit (cost about $25). Tears and wear spots in convertible tops are very common, and I have been using tape and silicone caulk as a make shift repair for a while, and figured I'd see how a commercial kit stacks up. Ultimately I need to replace the fabric on the top, but that's going to have to stay on the repair wish list for the time being. From what I have seen, replacement tops costs about $500, with about another $500 in labor if you have a shop do it. For the time being a temporary fix will do, but I will be sure to make a video when I finally can replace the fabric in full. Thanks for watching!
