Looking to repair a few cracks in the rear rollbar pad. Anyone recommend a vinyl repair kit they were happy with the results?

You can get a brand new pad from AA.

I think once they start to crack, it’s hard to reverse.

If it's not too bad, and you don't need concour results, the hobo fix is
A: 1) small dabs of translucent vinyl adhesive caulk with a toothpick (work it into and under the crack area) and press down, 2) smooth/clean edges with a wet Q-tip or similar, 3) allow to cure overnight, then 4) touch/daub paint with a satin black paint (spray paint in a small plastic cup) or black shoe polish. Hobo, for sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) B: Smack a clever adhesive sticker (some racing team or something) over the whole thing and pretend you're just being cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I think what I saw one time was extra wide Flex Tape or Gorilla Tape. Honest.... |

The cracks will show through the sticker.
Glue some Benjamins on the thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
