I am guessing there is a foam core. That being said, sounds like the foam has water intrusion and the foam has broke down. Repair depends upon if the core is still wet or not. If it is, a couple of drain holes on the bottom will help drain. Some might use a vacuum to suck water out. But need to stop water intrusion, duct tape over cracks? Or some other tape that won't leave residue. Some duct tapes will. It may take awhile for foam to dry (weeks to a month). AFter the foam has dried you have two choices in my opinion. One is the foam injection that will use the moisture to cure the foam. I have not used the foam process but was chastised by an expert that foam was the only way to go even though he had never used it.

The second is fill with epoxy. My preference is to use Git-Rot for the epoxy. I purchased on line for $50 per quart. I was able to fill my deck from underneath but in your case, you will drill 3/16" holes every 2-3 inches in the soft area on top. I used syringes from West Marine (20 for $20). Mix the Git Rot and pour into syringes to inject into holes. The syringes should be snug into hole to "pressurize" the holes. AS you inject, you will feel the pressure building inside, I like to inject the lowest hole until the epoxy comes out of the next higher hole. This will allow the Git Rot to fill all the voids inside. Each hole will take multiple injections.So, basically you will have syringes in all the holes in that area. It will look like your boat is getting acupuncture. It will get pretty warm to touch. After each hole is pressurized, quickly take the syringe out and put duct tape over hole and screw in a short wood ( 1/2" by #12 I think?) screw to keep pressure in side. Then take scuba weight belts and apply over soft area to allow the epoxy(Git Rot) to adhere to outer skin over night. The next day check for other soft areas. Take wood screws out and finish filling holes with epoxy. Sand smooth and cover with nonskid. I am not a big fan of cutting out simply because I don't have the finesse to make it look good on a curved surface. The cracks will need to be cleaned(ground out) and filled with epoxy. then faired before applying nonskid. Using this method, I was able to fill several voids in my balsa deck in two hours. About 20 minutes per void. Much faster than cutting out and redoing the outer skin.
Another option is to call Dedicated Marine the most likely builder of the hard top and ask them what to do.
This advise is worth exactly what you paid for it. There are many ways to do this project and I have had success with this method.

I used this method from below the deck because the deck was recently painted and the painter forgot to repair the soft spots. It was very easy and clean. I watched a guy cut out from below and repair, A very messy job. My method was very clean. The Git Rot cleans with vinegar. And fast!!
