I was driving out of my garage and notice a inch to 1 1/2 in rip in my soft top.
Do I have to get the whole top replace or can they repair it? What is more preferable, replacement or repair? How much will it cost? What is a good place?
I'm in the melbourne area.

Warranty, and will my insurance pay for it (state farm)?

 

Duck tape it!!

Seriously your best bet is replacing the top

 

Well, I'm not so worry about when to fix it. I have a beater truck I can drive, and the car is garage. I just want to know where and how much it cost. This way i won't get scam. Is there places that give warranty after the replacement?

 

about $1500 plus for a new top

 

no joke

price plus clock hours is through the roof on this part.

Clock hours at the dealership runs 10-12 hours

 

How much will patching cost? What if I buy the top off of ebay, and bring it to a place to install the top? is that cheaper?

 

The convertible top itself is only $500-700. Add another $600 for labor. You should price the tops if you don't believe me.

 

And the $500-700 tops are replacement Robbins tops...not OEM. Not that there is anything wrong with the Robbins, but they are slightly different from OEM.

 

I believe you. I search for "s2000 top" and saw it in the range you specified. I dont know what type of cloth to buy though. Would it be better with stayfast? Also i need to retint the glass window again.

 

After those prices Duck tape sounds about right $1.95 at Home Depot
