Ok, best idea's for patching this one.

It's in a bimini just on the side bend. I now have  ;D an exact fabric match. It would be nice to stick it with something on the inside because it will hardy notice on the outside.
I guess probably two small patches either side sewn together ( messy ) :(
If it wasn't a roof I would probably darn the thing......

I'd put one patch on the inside that spans the seam.

What is it a little wear spots? I'd probly if that's it just patch theninside so it isn't so bad looking 
Otherwise inside and out is the best way.
I had a neighbor with A forty somthing sea Ray with a bridge

A pelican bombed the canvas and when he took the top off to clean it he said it fell apart like acid hit it. He had to ma e a big patch two sides.

I was thinking of that, thanks June.

The wear patch is a hole, the guy managed to stick a coathanger through it  ::)

It had...   Bird poop has VERY high concentrations of uric acid.  The pasty white stuff in bird droppings is acid.  It'll eat through paint, canvas, or whatever it's left on for any length of time.
