no, but in all seriousness, what kind of patch, if i were you id go to a body shop and see if insurance will cover it


oh, whoops, i didnt read vert.... you could try sewing in a peice of fabric in as close of a color you can find, wouldnt be perfect, but it wouldnt be that terribly bad if you made it nice.

it would be cheaper to replace it yourself than claim on insurance, the deductible is more than the top probably

Duct tape? (black of course)

J/k. That sucks, have you tried to see how much a new one would cost? Depending on your deductible it may be best to do it cash out of pocket or have insurance pay for it.
That really does suck though

bummer, I just removed the top from my vert about 2 hrs ago you'll need a special staple gun for reinstall, adhesive and weatherstrip adhesive...oh please don't bypass the filter with your thread title of profanity, I changed it....if you need help I work cheap with the install
