Audi Convertible Window Flap Repair

Buttera Motors

From the Cabriolet to the Spyder, all Audi Convertibles come with an optional cloth top. It’s not uncommon, though, for the cloth to become undone from the window. While this may seem like a fairly minuscule issue, it can create an opening for water to seep through and stain the headliner. Most VW & Audi service centers can fix this problem, though Audi convertible window flap repair can also be addressed by the car owner.

Solutions for Convertible Window Flap Repair

There are different types of adhesives available at your local hardware shop. Using some form of glue may not always provide a permanent solution, but it may suffice as a temporary quick fix. The following adhesives have been recommended by Audi Convertible owners for application on cloth convertible tops.

  • Bostik 2402 – This polychloroprene adhesive is used in conjunction with Bostikure D to form a cold curing adhesive property for a water-resistant seal.

  • 3M Scotch Grip Rubber Adhesive 1300L – This rubber gasket glue is made from neoprene and is designed for bonding metal, wood, plastic, and rubber.

  • Goop – This is a popular adhesive brand designed for various household uses. It’s known for its waterproof properties and resistance to temperature extremes.

  • Gorilla Glue – This is similar to super glue and is renowned for its ability to bond to just about any surface, including most cloth types that don’t normally respond well to adhesives.
