I can always just claim it with my insurance, but I'd like to know if there are any options besides spending $1200 for a new top, or $500 to get a new plastic window sewn in. Can a plastic window tear be repaired?
To make it simple... no.
Its already torn/ripped, so you can try glueing in a patch... nothing to lose now.
Please report back what you end up doing. I would like to know if patching works and what glue you might use.
