We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Is it worth repairing this small tear in the boot seal? I've got a neoprene wetsuit repair kit so could use the black silicone "glue" from this. It's not letting in water.

Needs to be fixed ..it will leak..the seals are prohibitively expensive so a rubber based repair would be good..

Guys,
Why do you place and discuss this specific topic in my maintenance thread?
It's definitely the wrong place. :headbang:

Because it says roof maintenance issues. Why are you so picky?

Cause I'm German! :rofl:

Your individuell problem has absolutely nothing to do with maintenance.
This thread was built on request to collect general topics in this how-to section. Of course may this collection be hijacked by you, why not? And why not dropping the problem section at all? Not required anymore.

And of course may I drop my former hints to not hijack your water problems, as already done in the past.

I think the misunderstanding came from the Post Title.If it had said "How to fix problems with e89 roof" or similar it would have been obvious that it was a "How to". Maybe you could have a "Do not add to How to posts" in bold at the top of the post.
I found the post through a search for roof problems not from going through the Submenu. So thought that it was a discussion post.
So I apologise for the misunderstanding.
