Hi Max, I'm no expert on Cali things as illustrated above when I couldn't even get the bungee fitting right. However, I'm a bit better at the domestic sewing side of things.
For years, Scout and Guide canvas tents were mended with patches of canvas till they just about resembled a patchwork. When the canvas gets wet, any needle and thread holes tighten up again. If I were you I would search for a traditional tent/sail repairer for a matching piece of canvas and use with strong thread. Curved needles are also available which would save trying to pass a needle back and forth to someone on the inside of the bellows. I think a repair would barely be noticed once the bungee was in place.
Others may have better ideas.
