You might think about taking the skin off and having all of the seams on the motorbox restitched. If the thread rotted out in one spot, it is likely to be bad in other areas as well. By pulling the skin and taking care of all the seams, you would prevent future problems. If you pull and replace the skin yourself, the cost should be minimal.

Also, let it sit in that Florida sun for a bit before you start. It'll be easier to work with.

You can fix that easy with a hook needle. That may not be the real name for it...looks like a big U.

Anyone know a good way to fix a seam that is coming appart? The vynal has not torn, the stitching has just come out. Do you have to take the whole skin off to fix it, or can you re stitch while still on? The seam in question is on the motor box.
I bought the needle and wax thread, but for the life of me can not figure out a way to do it with the skin on the box. |
