I have an '88 that has a vert top in great shape, BUT I just found the smallest tear (less that .5 inches long) on the side. It has not grown in size in the year I've had it up here.

Basically, can anyone tell me what I can do to plug it up (so to speak) and make sure it doesn't get bigger?

PM me or just reply,

Thanks!!

 

I would suggest using a heavy-duty thread or artificial sinew and sewing up the tear, then go over it with a sealer of some sort. You might also back the repair with a piece of scrap canvas.
