you can try to patch it, it might work...

im not sure if i have this problem, i have a hardtop and i never see my soft top...

 

if you don't lock the latch back up after undo'ing it, it will do this exact tear when put down. I had a broken plastic piece in mine that caused it not to hold back up in place and when the top went down.... riiiiiiiiiip

I know of a person who shall remain nameless... that claimed a branch fell in a storm causing the tear and paid an insurance deductable to repair the top which normally is a couple grand.

*disclaimer* this user in no way encourages insurance fraud, just stating a story from someone who knows someone who babysat for some baby's daddy that did this...

 

yeah i park under this big tree and aftre a windy nigh i came out and found it ripped n branches all over

i also have the broken plastic piece you speak of...
