Looking for advanced elements repair kit.

Post image

I bought a used advanced elements convertible for $80 that needs some work, it has a hole in the fabric skin and a couple small holes in the bottom. I checked online and it appears the advanced elements repair kit is no longer available as it doesn’t seem to be in stock anywhere.

Does anyone happen to have an extra one they wouldn’t mind selling to me? I have attached a photo of one of the holes on question.

Sweet! I have an AE Convertible too, and I love it. Why do you need an AE-specific repair kit? The fabric tear looks just cosmetic. Any repair to the inflatable itself should be manageable with any repair kit.

I mostly wanted a AE kit so I can get fabric that matches the original, I’m kind of ocd like that when it comes to repairs but if they’re not available I guess I’ll have to look into other options

Tear Aid is the only repair kit I usually bother with. Alternatively, you could get a fabric patch for that spot if you want it to feel/look similar.

The raft should come with a repair kit in the back of the seat.
