if you dont wanna spend on a new top use the clear gorilla tape both sides then get sika flex 220+ polyurethane adhesive to reattach outside fabric to glass.thats gotta be a major leak coming in or it soon will be..
 
Just put the top up on our new to us 2005 and found the broken threads. Looking for comments on how to stop the torn threads from spreading and how to camouflage them.

On the plus side the PO put the chrome trim strips on for the hard top to rest on. The car also came a factory plastic "envelope" filled with paper abrasion strips and a spray bottle for them.

If you do not want to spend much money, I would push the loose threads down flat, and apply a good drop of some
epoxy glue in the open area. This way it will seal the hole and secure the loose threads. Do not put too much glue
so, it is not too noticeable.
