My Camaro convertible’s soft top (and headliner) got vandalized. They were slit with something like a knife. About a 2 inch straight cut above the driver seat. Is it possible to repair it? ---

You could use 2-inch wide tape to temporarily fix it, it that won’t last long. You might consider sewing it together first. Stretching from lowering and raising the roof would likely pull the tape off quickly. I’d use your car insurance to help pay for the repair if you can. ---

A convertable shop can look at it and give you a real answer . If you have full coverage insurance at least see what you insurance says. ---

Duck Tape, underneath patch and flexible glue, stiched patch …but the only solution that will last and look right is replacement If it’s any consolation I’m guessing the ragtop is about 15 years old now, if so it’s nearing replacement time anyway. ---

Putting ( How to repair a convertable top ) in Google would also show many atricles and videos showing just how it might be done . The web has many faults but it is a great source of help for doing things . I used it the other day for tips on cutting plexiglass to size on a table saw.
