The rear of the canvas roof on the Boxster has come away from the frame.
From the factory its apparently held in place with VHB (very high bond) double sided tape.
I have purchased a roll of this tape and am about to attempt to fix the problem.
I dont feel particularly confident though.
I tried contact adhesive last week and it only held for a couple of days until the tension overcame it.
There doesnt seem to be space to rivet it, which is a pity as I would have liked to put a few rivets in as well as the VHB tape.
We shall see.   ::)

Well, Ive done the job. Just need to see if it lasts now. *

* Lasts long enough to be something for a new owner to deal with next time.  ::)

It seems to have stuck very well, so hopefully it will stay that way for the foreseeable.  :y
