repairing peeling seam tape?

Any thoughts on the best way to re-seal seam tape on a dry top? The top itself is about 2 years old, but has only seen about a dozen or 15 actual wearings. It has been carted around in hot cars a few more times than that. The seam tapes are peeling. What product should I use to glue them back down?

It's an NRS top, but since I didn't buy it from them directly, I doubt I can try to get them to do something about it.

thanks for any advice.

This is the main problem I had with the NRS Motion tops I had purchased for myself and Brit 2 yrs ago. They started falling apart at the seams at less than a year old. Shorty and long for me, long for Brit. I replaced mine with 3 layer IR tops, Brit's with a kids kokatat top ... awesome ... a year now on the LS .. no visible wear at all. Love that top. I didn't attempt warranty b/c frankly I didn't want a replacement NRS top! If you want to give it a try, nothing to lose ... give them a call. BTW, we also had a problem with the tape over the neoprene neck .... glued up well with aqua seal. Not sure what is involved in taped seam repair in laminate fabric.

I sent my Kolkatat dry-top to IR. They fixed it beautifully...all gaskets and seams and had it back in less than a week. (ask Elizabeth-who bought it right after I got it back)They will fix all brands. They charged me $30.00 to fix everything and that included shipping. They also completely re-seam-sealed and reinforced my IR sprayskirt for free. It was probably 6 years old..they charged me zip, nada, not even postage. I sent it on Monday after boating and had it back as I left for boating Saturday. IR completely rocks the house on neoprene repair!
