A fairly common problem I believe , the sun has ruined the top edge all the way along. I didn't know I could get a new piece of material put in as the rest of the interior is pretty good .

i assume you mean that the fabric has cracked and ripped, removing the cover is fairly straight forward, you then have two options as i see it

1. replace the fabric that but you will have two problems as i see, firstly it will not be easy to make a template from the fragments, it can be done but not easy, the second and far more serious problem will be getting a replacement vinyl that is a colour match given the amount of time the rest of the interior has had to fade, of course you could then colour all the vinyl to match.

2. glue another piece of fabric under the existing vinyl to hold everything in place. this might work if you have not lost any bits of vinyl.
