Default Anybody have these problems with the top?

Has anybody ever encountered any soft top components coming loose? I for one have a flap dangling in the back and a rubber portion that occasionally sticks out of the left side of the soft top.

This is the flap sticking out the back.

And this is the other protruding segment.

How do you guys recommend I go about fixing these? Also, can the flap be a potential source of rattle in the car? I've been hearing some rattling from the rear of the car and I've narrowed down this flap as one of the culprits. Thanks a lot guys!

Has anybody ever experienced the loose rubber portion? I was analyzing it earlier and it apparently attaches to the upper portion of the rear fender along the sides.

So the rubber portion seems to be attached on using glue. Where can I buy another one of these components or some proper glue to stick it back on?

+1 for the mysterious "flap" alongside the glass. It usually pops out when I wash it, but I just tuck it back in.

The side flap needs to be glued back down- common issue on glass tops - it will flap at speed and annoy you.

Never seen pic 2.
