It can be repaired, Any tent/awning place, sail maker, or canvass guy can fix it. The top will have to come off the car though.

Will look a bit fugley

Hi

I had one installed over here in England for £500.00 GBP supplied and fitted, so 'after market' suppliers should not be too bad! (he travelled 140 miles to fit)
