Soft Top replacement

Post by RBastin »

Hi all,

I have replaced my soft top but have a strap with a metal eye attached and I cant seem to find where it should locate. I've tried to add a pic.

Can anyone advise please?

Many thanks,

Roy

There is a strap that runs side to side in a small channel in the centre of the roof. The strap runs through this and wraps around the side bars.

The strap is there to pull the "ears" in when the roof is down. The strap does put pressure on the roof though and some people run without to save possible damage over time now the vinyl is old.

If you put your roof down you should see the 2 corners sticking out squarely, with the strap on they should be pulled in and tuck down.
