So I recently got a tear in my top. Its about 1" to a 1.5" long and maybe a centimeter in width. What can I do to fix it and make it look like nothing ever happened, and can a car upholster make it look new?

No there isn't anything you can do to make it look new again. Don't patch it. Tried that.

Go to autozone and get black RTV silicone. It keeps water out and its rubbery so you can still put your top down and up without tearing it.

I have the same issue on my AP2. Probably gonna stitch it.

And the top was perfect yesterday too. Its the little things that drive you nuts.

Might be time to get a new top. I had to get a couple for my convertibles over the last couple years. I used topsonline.com. Good prices. Check em out. The only thing that will really suck is trying to get it put on the frame. That is a pain in the ass.
