What's the Latest in Temporary Repairs for Torn/Ripped Top?

Last August I had my 64 parked outside under a pop-up shade cover. A freak storm came up when nobody was home and destroyed the cover putting a pole thtough my original top. The tear was about 12" long. I bought some flex tape and put a strip over the tear and backed it up with a piece on the inside. (White tape on white top) It keeps the weather out and is holding up pretty well. Just one edge is starting to curl up.

I had no intentions of replacing the top because I liked the originality but a new top Is now going to happen.
