It happens. I’d go to a boat canvas shop before ordering a replacement. You’ll likely save a bundle.I was trying to get kayaks on my bed rack and one of the plastic fixtures was stronger than my canvas. Didn’t realize as I was pushing it from the back the soft top was higher than my bed rack…
I’m heartbroken.
gorilla tape is on order until I can afford a replacement…
Keep hearing that. I’d be interested to see folks results.
I have a canvas shop remaking a rear opening for my soft top as we speak. Those folks are creative and can make something from nothing. Redoing fabric on an existing frame is easy for them.
In fact, have them make you a one off. Cut an opening, make a flap with a screen and zipper like a tent. You’ll have a custom screened cover for way less than a new one.
Good idea.
My previous rear opening was either clear or screened. I’m having one made with the outside clear, the middle screen, and the inside opaque. It’ll all be done with zippers to open it up for dogs, make it private, or have it rain resistant.
That’s neat. I’ve seen tents like that.
Many soft toppers are opaque only; which I hate. Mine was clear only.
And ask them to make it out of kevlar, so the next time OP pushes a kayak onto it, it wont rip!
Well, remember way back about 3 years ago when my first tranny internally blew up and my truck then sat for 7.5 months and just before that FCA would only repair the misfire cam/lifter problem I had on my first engine but wouldn’t fix the coolant consuming problem and everything was “my fault”?
