Default Damaged Windstop

I've had my NBC for two weeks now, and I noticed the Windstop had a couple of small holes in it. When I smoke cigars with the top down, I make it a point to put the windstop in. I noticed that I myself made a big hole from some ash and I was wondering...

Has anyone ever replaced the fabric in the windstop? I don't want to buy another one, and I really like using it. Thanks.

*Mods, I figured since this is concerning parts and accessories, I'd post it here. If you feel it should be in the NBC forum, please move.*

I have 2 small holes burned in my windstop thanks to some fool in a pickup flicking his ashes out the window.
When you find out how to fix this, let me know.

Heck....I'd go to the fabric store or craft shop and get some type of sew on daisies or something. Gives it a little personality then.They might even have some "iron on" ones also.

Be careful about iron-on stuff, I think the windstop fabric may be nylon so it may melt easily.

I'm afraid the flowers won't look right with a guy driving... at least not with this guy!

I looks a little harder to take apart than I thought. If/When I do begin to take it apart, I will take pics. If anyone gets brave before me, please, let us know.

Possibly, a glass shop, that fixes screen doors, may be of help to you. Good luck!
