MG MGF Technical - Cloth roof damage

My 12 month old MGF has developed a nasty little tear (uner 0.5cm) in the roof, loks like it got pinched when I was letting the roof down one day and has graudally deteriorated.
Any way of repairing these things properly?

May be worth approaching your dealer with this regarding a warranty fix?

I've just had a new roof for the same reason under warranty, 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately it looks like the new roof is going the same way; pinch mark already. BTW they only replaced the roof fabric not the frame or the rear window section. Chris

To stop mine from this problem, i stick a small piece of black pvc with silicon to the underside of the roof fabric where there's the 'pinched' mark. luckily, its quite hidden under all the bars.

regards.

Last time this question was asked, some "new man" had stitched up the tear, reinforcing it from behind.

Thanks folks, off to the dealer tomorrow to see if its a warranty job
