Default Soft top repair?

I have a small tear, about half an inch on my softtop. Is there a an easy solution to this? Some kind of patch I can buy or some other inexpensive fix? Thanks.

does the tear go right through the material ?. I had a small tear on my softop and I repaired with a kit made by Permatex, you can likely find the kit in any auto supply store. My tear did not go right though the meterial it was more of a slash, I got it sealed up and it looks great using the permatex kit. I believe Honda has a repair process for softop rips listed in the service manual, and you can likely find a shop that does that type of repair in your general area.

Thanks for the info. I ended up getting it fixed at a local upholstery shop. Charged me 45 bucks. No idea if that's a good deal or not. And yes, it went through the material. I noticed the hole because I was hearing wind noise when I was driving.
