Sylvain,
This sometimes happen if the hood isn't opened regularly.
A fold should naturally occur in the canvas under the rear window as the hood starts to fold. First of all, check that the retaining straps, which attach near the top of the rear window, haven't broken or detached. Then try and "train" the hood to fold at that lower point by encouraging the fold as the hood is lowered. Be careful, though, to ensure that the hood doesn't catch the top of the rear seat as it lowers.

Also as its a 2+2 the tops window can catch on the back seat if not adjusted correctly. I'm guessing that's why it has the tears.
I believe that that years model has the removable roof liner, so maybe it can be taken off to see whats happening. I would take it to a convertible roofing guy as l'm sure its not as easy to fix as it first seems.
