Default Fitted my soft top today!

I ordered an ez-on soft top a while back on eBay and myself and my future brother in law just got around to fitting it today, unfortunately I didn't take many pictures but I have to say the quality of the hood is excellent!! The only fault I had was the instructions on converting from the plastic to the glass rear screen.

S2Ki is a gift!!!! Quick search and it pointed us in the right direction on what way to tie the bars!!! It also stopped me worrying about why the hood is slightly harder to close so thank you S2Ki and thank you ez-on!! 5/6 hours well spent!!!

Congrats I did this about 2 years ago when I bought my car used. Make sure your forward elastic straps are still good to prevent wear on your new top! Modifry sells straps to fix it if they are bad but it will cause premature wear on both sides just over the window if they are worn.

Looks like I'm about to have to buy a new top as well.

Just got the car a few weeks ago, but it's showing wear above the passenger's head. Looks like it due to the sagging straps. I saw the ez-on tops, but was looking at the Robbin's top as well.

What do you usually have to replace hardware wise? Is there anything that will commonly break when installing the new top?

Just make sure to get those straps fixed! You might not even have to replace it yet if it hasn't worn all the way thru

We replaced the front strap's, put straps from there to the bow behind that one and then from that bow down to where the top bolts to the car. Look's good!!!! Also the window was catching in the tonneau cover bolts so I removed them.
