Torn DCPU canvas/tilt

Any suggestions for repairing this? It's rubbery type tilt, not canvas.
Stitching is the obvious thought but who has a sewing big enough to get to this bit??
I'll sort the sharp edge that caused it but in the mean time this needs a repair.

find a truck tarpaulin or boat cover repairer near you and they will weld or sow a patch on

You're probably better off glueing a patch on rather than stitching that horrible stuff! Stitching is likely to act like perforations and tear easily.

I detest these horrible modern cheap plasticy tilts, they're not a patch on the old canvas ones. The method of closing and fastening is rubbish too.
