Default Quick fix or patch for soft top, 95 GT convertible

I moved to WA and came back to CO to drive my 95 GT convertible back. A recent hail storm tore up the soft top and smashed the windshield. The windshield is being replaced, but not sure what to do about the top. I need to leave on Saturday morning so looking for a temporary fix that can with stand highway speed winds. I've even been thinking about duct tape and just wrapping it as best I can. Local auto parts stores don't carry patch kits. Maybe something I can pick up at a home depot or lowes? Attached a pic of the carnage.

A guy up the street from me has had black duct tape on his(black top) for a couple years and has worked fine. quick and cheap until you can get it replaced.

Thanks, that may be the fix. Looks like I can get it in white too.

No, even if the car was stolen it's just not worth that much and I don't think I'd make the claim anyway. I put some clear gorilla glue tape over the holes, I think it may hold up better. My trip from CO to WA should prove how good it is
