There was once someone selling pieces of their soft top in sections. If you can get a hold of him, I'd say to sew a piece of that on.

Go to a fabric shop and ask for some black upholstery thread. Use that to sew it back up before it tears bigger. I sewed my top after a break in all the way across and its still holding up....now to just get a new top.

The service manual shows the process of how to repair tears in the top, or you can just take it to an upholstery shop and have them fix it.
