Soft top repair

I found a soft top on my local C-List that seems to be a pretty good deal. Its a Specialty Soft Top brand. The only problem is that its torn on one corner and I don't know if its repairable. I haven't seen it in person yet but I have a picture of the damage.



Does anybody have experience fixing something like this or know how much it might cost to have it repaired?

I have a kayline, and I mine is coming undone on that corner, and the tensioning strap came off. I haven't had it priced yet, but that one looks fixable. I would just lowball the price on him.

Call around to some of the upholstery shops and get referrals. Look for people that Jeep guys recommend. I am just waiting to have a few items wrong with mine before I take it in.

Keep us informed on the repair, if you buy it.

I ended up buying it, other than the rip its in great shape. The thing I don't like is it doesn't use the existing topper holes for the side rails like the can-back top. You have to drill the holes.
