Soft-Top-Threads
 

Hey Guys, while down in Aberdeen, wheelin, for a week, i drove into
alot of grown over trails, alot of limbs sliding over my top, (slowly)
when i got back and washed my jeep up i noticed that on my passenger
rear, window,,the threads had let go in two places on the "top" portion
of the zipper,
the top is the original top, so its old, "90YJ"
is there anything i can do to fix it,
or do i need to take it to a canvas shop and have it re-stiched?
im looking to get a new top this fall, and the tops coming off as soon
as it warms up some more,
but having two holes, (where the treads let go) in the sides of my
zipper bugs me,
thanks,
Johnp,

im now definatly addicted,
i have gone so far as to deliberatly get stuck just to use my new
winch,
theres no cure,

Hmmmm. Thread rot. Very bad for top.

You could have it restitched to hold it until warmer weather, but be
warned that that other seams are probably not far behind.

Nope you are just putting off the inevitable. Take it to a boat shop where
they repair sails or seats have them restich it or get youeself some sail
needles and sail palm and hand stich it.
