Has anyone experienced their sundeck material filling with air to a large bubble during travelling ? Seems bizarre how this could happen as my interior is in excellent condition. I am worried on a long trip it will tear. I do not travel with tarps ever because the wind destroys those as well. I was thinking of gluing the vinyl to the plastic top. Has anyone done that ?

Thanks

Is it possible for you to post a picture of what you are describing?

Right where it says Challenger on the back

I see what you are saying now, I believe gluing it down would be a solution so long as you never had to remove it. Have you tried trailing with your cover on? I believe this would prevent the problem, you would just have to make sure that your cover can handle it too.

Mine does it as well. I have been running a strap from the ski pole to the tow line u-bolt. This seems to hold it down while travelling.

If you choose to glue it down be careful what glue you use. We have a customer use 3M spray adhesive and it ate up the fabric on his Challenger. The strap sounds like the best idea or a well fitting cover, like one made by Commercial Sewing.
