Default Soft Top Tear
Hey guys, just wondering if any of you guys have the tearing issue wid the soft top and how to fix it. Or maybe i just need to get a hardtop or a new soft top.

i reinforce the inside with black ducktape. it holds pretty well. some people epoxy more pieces of top to the inside to reinforce also.

yeah. i've been black ducktaping it but it's only a quick fix.
I need something a little more permanent. I guess it's a hardtop =P

when i get my new soft top, i will be using shards of my old one and epoxying the typical tear areas for reinforcement.

i bought a convertable for a reason. damnit.
