Default Soft top repairs?

I recently discovered a few holes in my soft top. (I heard the fabric pulling a couple of times as I was dropping the top)
Does anyone know of any place that repairs these?
If it's too much I might just hold off and save for a hard top but wanted to know prices anyway.

Thanks!

You can complete temporary repairs yourself with some extra fabric from an old top and some high strength waterproof glue. This to hold you over till you figure out what you want to do or make sure it doesn't get worse.

Shoot me a PM I still have some extra swatches of fabric I can mail you for a few bucks. Glue you will have to procure on your own but Walmart carries E-6000 I hear works. It's around $5 bucks.

As an FYI, I've always used clear 100% silicone sealant when applying a 'swatch' of patch-up fabric to the underside of my top. Smear it on basically like peanut butter, then apply the patch and press firmly. Gently wipe away the excess that squeezes out of the compressed patch. 100% seals, and as silicone is flexible...bendy too!

TPhong is the man for soft tops. I've seen his work quite a few times. I'll be taking mine to him once I can't patch anymore.
