Oh dear or words to that effect

Lifted the roof for the first time in 3 months only for the roof side to get cught in the runner on the drivers side causing a slight tear

I've seen repair kits on ebay but how good are they or should i invest in anew roof altogether

If it were me I would get a piece of plastic and glue it over maybe a transfer over that to disguise it, if that has problems then look at other things.
Its the cheapest and easiest in my opinion
The kits seam alot but they would be the correct material but probably not an exact colour match, close enough though.
would not want to spend a fortune on a new roof for a small tear

2nd that. There has been discussion on here recently when Mister Munkey had a similar mishap. If he doesnt read this then try PMing him, and/or have a search on here. Good luck.
PS - what a great weekend for sitting at a PC typing away on BF. There's nothing going on outside my window except the rain

Replacing the roof seems a lot of trouble for a 'slight tear'. I would run clear seam sealer (from a tent shop or chandler) along the tear and reinforce on the
inside with a light coloured vinyl (available from many dressmakers/haberdasheries/tent shop/chandlers) and fixed in place with seam sealer, so it's practically invisible from the outside.
