Default tear in soft top

Just found a small tear in my top. About an inch long. Any way to repair it without buying a new top?

Of course. Take it to an automotive/marine upholsterer and they will patch it so you can't tell. We had to take our TJ top in last year and they have a mix they make and put on with a small patch on the inside, the goo on the outside, then heat/iron it and viola it seals it completely.

Napa has some new "fix all" called Qbond, that will glue almost anything back together. It does work on everything that I tried it on so far.
