Hi All

When putting our tent down after our summer trip we noticed some small and big holes in the two tent windows on the left side of our 2009 Montana 6. I was thinking of ordering some Tear-Aid clear tape to repair them - however there's 'A' and 'B' options - option B is for vinyl and option A is for everything else I think. I don't know what our windows are made of and I can't find any info about it on their website. Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks

Esther

PS We don't even know for certain what caused the holes, I'm blaming it on a terrific Alpine storm with big hailstones, has anyone else ever experienced similar holes and do you what caused them??

Tenacious Tape would do the job just fine...use a small round patch on both sides of each hole. You'' barely see the mend.

As to what caused it, were your neighbours on that side using a BBQ as a camp fire, by any chance? Sparks can cause a lot of damage if the wind blows them onto a neighbouring tent.

Hi Val

There were neighbours using BBQs but just in the normal way. I don't know whether they were caused by burning, they are clean, round 'C' - shaped cuts in the material. On one of the holes I can see the centre where the material was pierced - it looks a bit a like a smash on a window caused by a small stone - a bit like a wee spider's web - type pattern - if that makes any sense!

My son got a Swiss army knife on his hols - I quizzed him about whether he had have done it but he promises he didn't!
