Default Convertible top temp patch

My white top has a 2 inch tear passengers side over the deck and a place were there is some wear drivers side on a rib close to the deck. I am not looking to replace it this year, other things to do first and when I do it will probably be in black to match the interior, or tan if I get a wild hair to replace the interior.
What I need is something that will last a year to keep the holes from getting larger that isnt green gorilla tape or surplus 100mph tape. Although if Gorilla tape will flex and stick to canvas and I can get white, it will be considered.

Sew the tear closed with fishing line. Requires a stout needle and pliers.
If you have a rub/hole you can patch it using an iron on clothing patch.
Depending on the spot you may have to be creative on how you'll apply the heat.
