1966 Buick Skylark Convertible top Rip :(

how are you guys,

i have a 1966 buick skylark ive been restoring for 3 years now, ive
done all the work myself, including the convertible top. During
installation it rips about 3/4 of an inch long, at the end by the
binding, but the binding didnt rip of coarse, so it is more like a
hole, it is vinyl, i was wondering if anyone had any good tricks to
fix it or if it is a common problem that a top shop could fix.

Thank you in advance
Joe

If this were mine, I'd go to a professional who deals in this kind of
stuff. Yes, it probably can be fixed, but you need someone who is an
expert.

I take it that the top was a wee bit too tight?
