Have repaired 2 hardtops...one my fault and one purchased that way. I used white MarineTex epoxy. It is used to repair boat hulls and it works great for a hardtop. Strong but sandable and if you use the white, the interior even matches. Seems to take paint well. Worked well for me.

I will attempt the fix tomorrow night .. Gonna hit a few boat shops and lowes to look for some of the suggested fixes .. If all fails I will just get another soft top and call it a day.. Once again thank you to all for the tips .. I will post when I succeed or fail LoL

Good Luck
That sucks! I always remove mine solo, and I did lift it off center once and almost dropped the end just like that! Freaked me out. I am a little slower with it now.
Sounds like some good suggestions, good luck with the fix.

Check out Urethane Supply Company products "Insta-Weld" and "SMC Hardset Filler".
I cracked a corner of my hardtop and plan to try this stuff out before I pull out the hard top this Fall.
