Default Robbin Soft Top is getting warn out

My soft top look from the outside its fine with no visible tear but if you look through the inside you can see a few spots where the light is getting through Not only that there was a few missing push in tabs where the back panel meet the roll bar panel on the rear. I should of have check everything back then when I had the top installed at the shop. Heck I could probably do the top myself if I have a garage and the necessary tools that is required plus the DIY instruction from the s2ki community. For sure I'm not taking my car back to the same shop Does anyone have a shot of the inside look of how it suppose to look like just incase there is more screw up on how things are suppose to go back for a robbin top installed?

After each install I perform. I tell my customers from out of state where they should put a piece of their old top on their new top once everything is broken in. So that way when the bars are going up and down it just rubs on the patches that are from the old top. Looks like you need a new top soon.

I'll be out in New York again soon. Check out some of my work on facebook. @ SoftTopGuy

From what I understand it's normal for it to thin out on the inside.
