There are 4 roughly symmetrical wear marks (2 on each side) on the inside rear 
of the top of the top.  (Does that make sense?)  The wear marks seem to be 
caused by rubbing while the top is down, since the marks line up with nothing 
when the top is up.  By feeling the wear marks from both the inside and outside 
of the top the material seems to be worn over half way through.  There is no 
indication of wear on the outside of the top.  These marks are maybe an inch 
long and a half inch wide.

They seem to be in an inconspicuous enough area.  I believe that if I can place 
nicely cut patches over the areas it might look even stock.  Anyone know of a 
patch kit?
