Tear in DGA Mach Lite

[MJanert]

Friend of mine knocked over my Mach Lite on the concrete last week. Upon further inspection today I noticed it got a decent sized hole in the side about the size of a quarter. It doesn't effect the basket but I'd like to fix it the best I could to prevent it from getting bigger. Any suggestions on what I should do/use? The material is like jersey material.

Or in more seriousness I guess, needle and thread, looks like a small enough hole that you could pull it together without much effect.

My first answer still stands as a viable option.

I'd say a combination of both your suggestions. Where the spot is looks like it's only going to get worse. Better to overdo it than have to keep messing with it.

Yeah, I was thinking seamstress when I saw the pic. Should only be a few dollars.

Make your friend pay for it.

Do you have problems with the top of the basket sagging ???

I have a tear in mine as well. Sent an email to DGA and they said they offer replacement canvas. $25/ea for top and/or bottom part.

Find a patch that you like, and sew it onto the corner.

If it's the folding fabric one from DGA it's the mach lite.

I have some tears like this in mine and also the pin that holds the cage up lost it's locking piece. I think I'm just going to email DGA and ask if I can purchase replacement parts.
