I second the 'Tear Aid' from Cabelas: Tear-Aid  The previous owner of our pup put a couple of rips in the canvas, but you wouldn't know it now. You can still see the rip because it is a clear patch, but it has held tremendously.

I have a similar question: on my 2000 Coleman Mesa, I'm beginning to have incidents where the clear plastic window is tearing away along the seam where the clear plastic window material is stitched to the canvas (canvas side of the zipper).  I have tried to stretch or otherwise realign the canvas so there is less tension on the zippers, but to no avail.  I'm thinking that the plastic has shrunk a bit in our horrendous summer heat and is causing the problem.  Do you think 'Tear Aid' would be a useful solution?  Does anybody have any ideas as to the cause of this appearent shrinkage and how to fix it?  Any feedback would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.

Your saying a pinhole so I'm assuming nothing is torn or ripped. If that be the case I'd use the same stuff I use for my fishing waders ~

One is a slower cure, where you would apply it and let it stand for the day. The other is for a quick dry. Either one will dry completely and remain flexible.
