Sorry to hear.

Not sure if he can do it but try this first:

Guven Custom Trim & Upholstery
959 E Chicago St
Elgin, IL 60120
(847) 697-3060

If you know where McGrath Honda is in Elgin, he is litterally behind them. You would pull into the Honda lot and drive behind the building where you'll find a buisness park in which he is located in.

Good luck.

Permatex works too. I repaired mine like that. Only $10.
Yeah it takes 4 hours and does not look that great up close but if you plan
on getting a hardtop in the future anyway I would recommend the Permatex repair kit. You can find it at places like Autozone.

Have fun!
