I think from what I have heard that cutting a fiberglass netting patch to cover
the torn area and using needle and thread to attach it is the best solution. I
found a kit at a local RV store made by Colghan (sp?) with everything I needed.
I am sure the parts could be found individually; i.e. canvas patch, fiberglass
netting patch, glue, needle and thread. The Colghan kit looked like it had been
on the shelf awhile so I don't know if it is still available.
