I mean proper repair or replacement with replacing the whole hood, Mikey. :-0)

Hey duct tape was perfectly good for Matt Damon when he got stranded on Mars ;o)

:p

Have you tried any local coach trimmers to see if they can help by replacing just the window?

Until then I would use heli tape, still clear but tough enough to last till you've got something sorted.

or something for swimming pools? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swimming-Pool-Vinyl-Repair-Kit/dp/B008TPS67C

My bad, I thought most knew of Heli tape

You know when cars have a clear substance say on heavy duty use parts like the front so have a clear heavy duty film which can be removed at any time but is quite a bit stronger than just duct tape. I use it always on the fork leg lowers to protect them

basic link explaining http://www.helitape.co.uk/
