Please help!!!

I have been researching the best way to repair the tear in my soft top. I don't know if I should stitch it together or if a vinyl kit would be best. Your help/input would be greatly appreciated.

I say do both stitch it together then use a vinyl repair kit. I have to say that top looks rough. Do you park your jeep under a tree year round? If you have the money I say look into a aftermarket top.

I would remove the top and take it to an upholstery shop and let them make the repair, then start saving up for an after market top. Welcome to the forum.

I repaired a similar tear with an iron on patch I picked up at wally world. Ended up reinforcing the other side. I went gingerly with the iron but it worked.
