I just found a tiny hole on the top of my convertible. Is there a product to seal (fix) this little hole so it doesn't get worst. The hole is probably 4mm wide but I'm afraid It can get worst with time. Any product or special glue out there?
Thanks.

Lots of products out there and only a few worth the time and money. Go to an auto upholstery shop and let them do the repair. Trust me its worth the money for the piece of mind that it was done right, and at this point the hole is not that big and shouldnt cost a lot to fix.
Good luck.

It depends on if it is a vinyl top or cloth.
You need to keep in mind that a convertible top wears out. While you may want to balk at replacing it, please realize that most tops will last seven years and that a good top will cost about the same or less then the tires you will put on it in the same time period. So why not just get the top replaced.
In the mean time, see if there is a shop that can fix the one you have and guarantee it for a while.

You can use a silicone based adhesive and a small patch to effect a repair that will last for a bit. However tears are usually signs that the fabric is weakened and wearing out. Start saving for that new top.
