Hi all.
My AFT roof tent has a couple of rips which need repairing before the roof space can be used.
Is there a Bongo-specific repair kit anywhere with compatible material/colour (green) ? I looked on evilbay but found nothing.
Thanks in advance.

Not bongo specific but Tenacious Tape is ideal for this, also for the netting outside but I use it doubled up one inside one outside for the netting (less material to stick to) but DO remember to round the corners as in the instructions, it then won't peel when it folds down!
Its the "red" pack material is clear however!

Mylar tape is good to repair the roof fabric. Stocked by the Bongo Shop, see

Many thanks Geoff and Ian.
I've ordered the Mylar tape, I might get the Tenacious tape also if the netting needs doing, quite a cheap fix considering what I'd have to pay for a replacement tent!

I was thinking of replacing tent but thought a second hand one off a scrapper would be the same age as the one ive got.
With the same brittle net from Sun damage.

I thought of that as well but it's a hell of a big job so I'm told.
Mylar tape arrived today, many thanks to Ian.
