I have a 1 inch crack in the clear plastic portion of my canvas top's side curtain. Would you recommend some epoxy to seal the crack or some other form of treatment to keep the crack in check? thx sd

Re: Repairing Canvas/Clear Plastic

you should be able to stop the crack by drilling a small hole at end of crack and fill that with silicone. Not sure how you would get a sealer in the crack.........t/42

Windows can be replaced fairly economically, too. If it's starting to crack that may be your best option.
