Andy, you might make it worse, leave it alone and TRY to forget about it! :)

Either that or find a company the deals with canvas roofs and know how to fix/stop getting worse.

I have one just up the road from me. If you post up a picture I don't mind popping in and asking them for advise.

-Cheers mate much appreciated :)
 
Yes leave it alone. I'd be very surprised if heat would do anything but burn (not melt) it... You could make it much worse.
 
The Haartz (Z4 hood supplier) website is vague about the outer material, only saying it is "acrylic or acrylic/polyester". Either one should melt at reasonable temperature before it burns. Melting may be a reasonable measure if the threads/filaments were cut, but in this case, it looks like more of a pull or snag, the threads/filaments seem intact. I think therefore it is better left alone.

Thanks for the input all,its good to hear different ideas :)

Whatever you do, Andy don't take it to that garage that told you that needed a new cat converter. They would probably advise you to use a massive red hot poker! :rofl:
