Hey all, the zipper on my rear window is done. Now I can't even get it to close so I currently have no rear shield. Of course this happened when the temp dipped to a frigid 10 degC with rain forecasted for the next 3 days. Any advice? Do I have to get an entirely new soft top? Thanks.

 

look for some one that makes boat tops,they know were to get marine grade zippers and have the heavy duty sewing machines

 

To save money until I'm done trade school, I sewed my rear window in using fly fishing line. The top functions fine. It's a cheesy repair but the top is getting rough anyways and will need replacing soon enough.

 

Mac: that's pretty creative. The rest of my top is still in good shape so as much as I don't want to spend $ on a new top, I don't want to do any 'home repairs'. thanks for the tip.

Sid: Great idea...I'm gonna flip through my phonebook and check out some of those places. Hopefully it's repairable. thx!

 

From what I've been reading about DIY soft top repairs, dental floss is the way to go.

For those not inclined towards DIY, any marina will steer you in the right direction like Sid said. They've all got local jobbers that fix boat tops on tap.
