Soft top cigarette burn

Some bugger put out his cigarette on my soft top the other day. Left a burn hole in the outer layer. Anyone know of a quick fix for this? Its about 1cm long by 3mm wide.

I'm fairly sure that I've seen some fabric repair products in Halfords that would probably do the job. IIRC there are coloured particles that mix with a glue and fill the area that's damaged. Different coloured particles are mixed to achieve the colour match that you're after. These products are typically used to repair cigarette burn holes in fabric seats but I can't see why they wouldn't work on a soft top too

Will definitely give it a try. Add on a waterproof spray and it sounds like it could do the trick. thanks.

I would be so annoyed if someone did that to my soft top. What kind of idiot does that?

I would recommend you find WHO is the most recommended auto trimmer in your area and go see them to talk abotu what can be done. I live in Christchurch NZ, and we have one of the best Auto Trimmers in the country, so I always go to see him if I have a question. He installed my new soft top last December and he is a great guy!
