Hey chuzie.....I think you jinxed me at the last local meeting!! THANKS!:thefinger: I come home the other day to see my rear window of the soft top looking loose. Sure enough, the stiching had deteriorated right where the back of the roof meets the back part of my soft top. Not good!! :banghead:Nothin is torn, just seperated. So, today I'm going to see of a friend of my brother-in-laws can fix it. If not, I'm off to Bent Brothers (a local upholstery shop) to get it fixed.

I went and talked to Jimmy the other day about my soft top, gave me better prices than anybody else around for replacing the back window on my top.

Ok, well...got my top back today! Looks better than when it came from JBG!! It was light on my wallet too! She only charged me $20!!! I'm thinking the reason why it split was b/c the rear window was extremely tight to fasten to the tailgate. And after 7 years of charelston weather...it just gave up. She double stiched it on both sides too. (how it should be) I'm thinking about taking my boat to her to get some curtains made and maybe a vinyl winshield.

Well, today I finally re-installed my soft top. I've been busy since I got it back. Decided to put it in the sun today (82 degrees) gave it a good scrubbin', let it dry and managed to get all the snaps back in place. Looks like I got a little extra fabric in the "fixin". So now, (thanks to chuzie pointing out the NON sagging of my soft top before) I now have a little extra droop on the rear window. Which, I'm kinda happy about b/c it was really difficult to snap back in the winter. Now, It shouldn't be a problem. Overall, I'm pleased the way it looks! Especially for an almost 7 year old soft top (with no garage)
