WTB: Tear-Proof Soft Top
That would be nice, a tear-proof top. I think hard tops would be less popular if that were in fact a reality. None of that matters though. I have a frickin’ tear in MY top. Look! I has a picture!
I noticed the slice a few weeks after purchasing the car, right where the top mates with rear of the car. I can remember it like it was six months ago. I was running my lithe, delicate half Asian hands over the canvas top draped in a lamb-skin soap glove… I digress. I found the damn cut in the top shortly after buying my car. Zip forward to today. The cut has not grown at all as far as my slanted eyes can tell. I am fortunate that the cut is in a, dare I say, unimportant section of of the top. I still drop the top nearly every time I drive the car. No leakage when I wash the car either. Check your top regularly and you may just find a nasty little surprise. Your soft top should be checked often, like your girlfriend’s breasts for cancer. In some cases that may be more than twice daily. One can never be too careful. Cancer kills.

But what can one do if they find that a torn top is getting worse?

Is the top worth salvaging? I mean there might be a band-aid solution, but how long will that really last…? Might need to get the credit card ready for a new top if it’s in that kind of shape.

The top is definitely worth salvaging. Since noticing the tear it has not grown a bit. It is perfectly functional and no leaks. They do have band-aid fixes and I’ve heard both good and bad about expensive and inexpensive options. a favorite for preventing tears is a product I actually purchased and will talk about at a future time.
