    Can you sew them? Depeding on the material, the patches might not stick.

    the material's a form of plastic layer so im not sure if sewing them will work, i bought patches earlier and am going to give sticking them from the inside a go as they wont get as much snow to the patch... seen as im a boarder and were on our ass's alot :P:D

    fingers crossed it works.. might see about sewing thought aswell to reinforce it:rolleyes:

    Thanks

    Could you do a patch on the inside and outside - like a sandwich? And then sew them together - ultra reinforcement!

    Take a Ride in your G6 and buy new ones.

    But on a more serious note, the post above is the best way forward.

    If you can, do a blanket stitch around the edges - so there's nothing to catch if you fall... again :)
