Anyone have a DIY method of repairing the area around a Lift a Dot button where the button has torn away from the tonneau with only about 1/4 of the material still holding on to the button? inside of going to an upholstery shop I was wondering if it would be possible to fasten some material under the button to secure it? Any ideas?

I would do the same.
If you want to do this yourself and add stitches to secure the patch, Google "Speedy Stitcher". That is a very handy sewing awl for making industrial type lock-stitches. A neatly cut oval patch held in place with contact cement and a ring of lock-stitches would be very secure. The Speedy Stitcher comes with flax cord. For a convertible top I would visit JoAnnes Fabrics or similar and look for some heavy weight polyester thread (button thread) in a color that matches the top. Polyester will last longer in the elements.
