What to Do When the Car Roof Fabric Falls Off?
2 Answers
Clean the stains, dust, and residual glue on the car roof fabric to ensure the bonding surface is clean and dry. Apply the adhesive evenly to both the roof fabric and the car roof. After brushing the adhesive, let it sit for 5-8 minutes, then press and hold it in place. Allow it to set for 24 hours to ensure a firm bond.
That day I was driving to the countryside when suddenly the car canopy fabric came loose with a loud rustling noise and covered the windshield, which really scared me. I immediately turned on the hazard lights, pulled over, and ran to the back of the car to check the situation. After discovering that the side fastening buckle had come loose, I first lifted the fabric to ensure clear visibility, then pulled out a strap from the toolkit to securely tie the fabric corner to the roof rack. When I got home, I carefully inspected the other fasteners and found two more that had aged, so I ordered a set of reinforced aluminum alloy fasteners online and replaced them. Now every time I park, I give the canopy a couple of tugs to test the tension, and on windy days, I add extra ropes for security. The canopy is something you really can't take lightly—if it suddenly comes loose on the highway, it's extremely dangerous. I recommend checking the tightness of the fasteners every month.
