    Sorry if this question isn't very intelligent..I'm still pretty new...but I'm not really sure what this part of my top is called...moulding? trim?...anyways, it's stapled in and seems to be coming more and more loose every time I put my top up and down. Is there something I can do to fix it?...or contain it? Thanks.

    I think if you take it to an upholstery shop they can fix it pretty easily .

    Make sure they use stainless staples. I have had the same problem on mine. They rust and come loose. Oh nice looking car also:TU:

    It is called a Wire on and you can have a upholstery shop fix it as stated before,but I would have them replace it.It looks to me like it is starting to rot out,after all it is made out of cardboard and wire wrapped in convertible top material.

    The tack strip could also be falling apart under the roof. The top guy will know what to do.
