 Re: split roof
2m of acrylic canvas off ebay and the excellent "how I did it" thread on here
Buy a Matt's roof
Buy a vynil roof and ask the question again in a couple of years

 Re: split roof
Ditto all above, I made my own using 3m of the boat canvas,which has left enough to make a sun shade for when the roof is back and a cover to go over the rolled up roof,both yet to be made

And black on black isn't too noticeable either.

 Re: split roof
I'm sure you could superglue a patch on, but maybe a more flexible glue would be better? Evo stick or something. Why's the roof split? Is it old and shrunk or has it just been damaged? If its shrunk and very tight I think you might be fighting a loosing battle with it.

 Re: split roof
Use a neoprene glue it wont eat you roof,super glue is to rigid and will more than likely cause another split, the neoprene glue is rubber based and very flexible,plus it sticks like sh** to a blanket
