I've seen several posts where Saabers patched the slits from the inside with various materials (black denim, silk, canvas) etc... using a glue called "GOOP", which is waterproof (I got it at Lowe's).
Cut a patch larger than the hole, coat liberally with GOOP, and press it against the slit from the inside. If the slit is gapped open you may need to raise your top a few inches and brace open to allow the slit to close. The glue sets up pretty fast, but takes 24 to 48 hours to fully cure, based on temp and humidity.
I used GOOP to reattach the canvas to my rear window in my 87 900t Convertible. It worked great and is holding like iron. I'm planning on patching 2-3 slits and even reinforcing some worn spots next. The top looks good with the exception of these spots, so if I can get a couple of years out of it, I'll be happy.
Good luck.
