  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Top Staples Coming Loose

    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.
