T-Top canvas repair or replace?

[Barefootin]

The canvas has a 18" straight line tear from meeting up with a magnolia tree while being towed. Can this be patched or should I replace?
I would be interested in hearing any alternatives to replacement like patching. Any suggestions on where to purchase a replacement cover if need be?
Thanks,

Bare, if you send me your old one I can remake it for you from the looks of it you could repair but it would most likely fail again after a short while.

Depending on what area your in i could also recommend a local canvas shop in your area.

I am in Ocean Springs, Ms. Only one advertised local canvas guy and he is still working VOO.
Pm if you know of someone around here.
Thanks,
