I have used the tape for repairs and it works well.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Hi Not sure what this thing is called and hoping someone knows it's name or the OEM part number - it sits in the cavity where the soft top goes when its opened/ folder away under the clamshell. It has holes in it for the water to go down the drains. Mine's has got damaged - by the the stop top mechanism levers which were detached from the roof and suddenly started moving by themselves due to water getting into the rear control unit. thanks B

This is the first time this part has come into conversation, so I don’t know the official, proper name it goes by but this rubber-like membrane would most likely be difficult to source and a task to replace. Compare a convertible to a boat. There is no such thing as a waterproof boat. That’s why there are bilges and bilge pump. Water IS going to get into a boat, and a convertible too. So, the solution is to get the water out the most efficient way. The rubber liner is to protect everything under it, while the drains do their job of getting the water out. If it is not too horribly mangled and damaged, and you aren’t too concerned with appearances since you or your mechanic will be the only ones seeing it, I would suggest attempting to repair it, possibly using that ‘miracle’ Flex Tape, or their other product Flex Paint. I have used the tape for repairs and it works well. The paint is a very thick, viscous product that seals quite well. Worst case scenario, if the results are less than desired then you can go back to square one with your only loss being the cost of the tape or paint and the labor applying it. I always go with the cheapest, easiest fix first, then move on to the next step in the repair journey.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
