If it's a small simple rip an upholstry shop might be able to glue a patch on it that would't look too obvious.. what kind of rip is it? how big? Where is it?

I have a small 1/4 inch slice on my top near the rear. There is a Doctor Viynl(sp) in my area that I have good things about, do you think he could patch it without it leaking?

That was a GOOOOD price. It is like 1200 in VA, but that is with a white canvass(Spelling???) top
