Hello,
Well, it was inevitable that sooner or later a seam on my tent end would let go. It’s a 4 year old, 2018 16XRB. About 8”-10” of the top-to-side seam thread, degraded and let loose. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best & proper way repair this?
(Duck tape doesn’t stick to it)
Thanks

That's really unusual. My niece has one that is close to 10 years old, well camped in, and not having that issue. I would remove it and take it to an auto upholstery shop and have it resewn.

I have a 10 year old, no issues. Have not heard of any issues.

A shop that does boat covers can fix it too.

Removing the bunk to have it Stitched would be a major project, and Ptia. I’ll try using a Speedy Stitcher.

Thanks everyone

I was thinking of a Speedy Stitcher as well. However, I think the needle will be too big. I would consider just a small hand needle, perhaps the curved type so you don't end up enlarging the holes any. There are some youtubes if you aren't familiar with using a sewing needle, it is similar to using an awl or speedy stitcher, but you can use smaller thread. ~CA
