There really is no fix for the soft top, just little things that you can try to prevent it from tearing more. The Honda dealership had glued (with a really strong glue that is also flexible) a small patch on when I had bought mine and noticed the tear. I would recommend a larger patch that goes under one of the bars because the constant sliding of the bar over the patch ended up taking the patch off after two months I don't know if anyone else has a better fix. I've heard of people taking it to someone who reupholsters (sp?) things. Since they work with fabrics they might have an idea of how to patch up a vinyl top.
