hi all
the zipline of my soft top ripped off few months ago. not leaking so still sweet! but the top right corner of the plastic sags off a lil as the the actual zip ripped off (you can still zip/unzip but the side of the zip that stays on the roof is ripped).
i've tried using super glue, tapes (lol i know) to attached it back but to no avail. any suggestion? it's not worth getting it pro-repaired so trying to diy it

Anyone with a decent sewing machine will be able to do that if they can get to it, will take 2 mins to sew.
If it's on the roof part of the frame (not the zip out window) you would have to take it off which would be a huge pain in the ass for something so small.

If it's like mine and it's the material failing, then the top is kinda rooted.

Try hand stitching it ? Glue it first 2 hold it. It works on bike seats
