Any suggestions for replacing my top? There is a fairly large rip in one seam and it's getting bigger (mainly because I can't resist putting the top down!)

Got ours from the Thing Shop. Has looked good for 3 years. Is parked outside and driven daily.

You can sew the seam if that is where it is torn. I did that before I could afford a new top. A heavy duty machine can do it. I used a Pfaff free arm machine. Use a canvas needle.

If you have a sail maker (sail boats) near you try them. They have the equipment to do it.
