NOTE
The watershed patch has the top edge angled to give a roof effect. Because the roof-type top
edge sheds water, the patch lasts longer than a rectangular patch. For watershed patch repair,
do Step 3.
3.
Repair cargo cover with watershed patch as follows:
a.
Cut patch large enough to overlap 2 inches (5 cm) on all sides of area to be repaired. Allow for 3/4 inch (19 mm)
turn-under of edge.
b.
Fold patch in half lengthwise. Cut from open edges to folded edge at 22-1/2
angle.
c.
Center patch over damaged area on outside of cargo cover. Turn under patch edges. Stitch in place with a row of
stitching no more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the edge.
d.
Secure patch to cargo cover with a second row of stitching. Place second row 3/8 to 1/2 inch (10 to 13 mm) from
first row.
e.
Turn material over. Cut away damaged area, notch corners, and turn edges in. Stitch turned edges to patch with a
row of stitching no more than 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the edge.
