Right, but i was talking about your roof that you stitched.

well i went to ians car upholstery in fairfield hieghts. he patched it up for free.

recommended that i dont ever stitch on a roof unless the whole roof is taken off and put onto the sewing machine. hand stitching it would only make it worse.(due to the inconsistant holes that it makes between the stitching)

just a useful fact i thought you guys might want to know aswell.
