I was looking at ordering one of Modifry's replacement elastic kits the other day.

It's not too bad price wise when you combine shipping on a few items but it'd be stupidly expensive to get one on it's own.

That would be mine sometimes it sits lower others like in the pic. The elastic needs replacing on mine, i just need to get round to ordering it

Hi Rich, I will be taking one of the kits off you in the next week or two if that's ok!

I noticed on the car I'm buying, that the roof doesnt quite go all the way down too. Although the roof was replaced 2-3 years back I think!

I've had the ebay straps on through the latter part of the summer with the roof up and down like a yoyo. < 5 minutes to fit, all problems solved and a spare included in the price.

It's very easy, just wrap them round the two poles that the existing straps are attached to.
