Default Convertible top repair kit?

I just put a top on my 88 GT and when I folded it down it got caught on something and made two very small holes. I was just wondering if they made a repair kit for convertible tops. If so where can I find one. Thanks

Sorry about your luck. I have never heard of a repair kit. Ask your local interior shop.

i own a auto upholstery shop, there is no repair for that. you need to replace it when it gets bad enough. they shrink and stretch with use and weather,no vinyl repair will work. dont let anyone talk you into spending money on that.if they are small holes just glue some patches on the inside if you can see them, just to keep the water out for now.

Thought I would update this thread
There is a patch kit that works on the tops made for portable ice fishing houses it works great called The Black Hole Patch Kit
