I had an '89 911 convertible once that developed a similar tear in the plastic window. I used one of these good quality transparent plastic patches you can find in Notion stores, or elsewhere. I did one on the inside and an identical one on the inside. It stood the test of time.

An anecdote, I took it to a top shop in Boston to get an estimate for replacing the top. You will never believe the advice I got. The owner said : "Look take the car, make the tear worse, park it in town somewher and claim to the insurance that it was vandalism. That way it will cost nothin' to fix."

Thanks, but the transparent plastic patches worked just fine.
