My girlfriend just had the same thing happen to her Chevy Cavalier. We tried using transparent duct tape on the outside and heavy duty piping tape on the inside but it only held up for a day or two before coming apart. If you live where there is an appreciable amount of rain, I'd strongly recommend having it done professionally.
We shopped around for quotes at upholstery shops & convertible specialists. She ended up using a convertible specialist as they had a good price and a quick turnaround. They did a good job, we've had no problems since it was repaired. She paid about $700 to replace the rear window and window skirt. It would have cost approximately $1200 to replace the entire top. They did the job in about 4 hours.
