Lets Talk About Our Tops

I've seen a few threads about people replacing their convertible tops and after looking through them I've decided that's a project i'm not interested in undertaking.

my top is in pretty good shape, i was told it was recently replaced when I bought my 01 base three years ago. My concern is that I have noticed a problem area. There is one small area where the plastic is tearing away from the rest of the top. It seems its being damaged by the motion of the convertible going down. The plastic is crimping and causing damage where it folds.

It Does'nt look so bad here

but...
Here is a close up where it is beginning to tear


Here is a picture of the plastic folding




So what I would like to know is if anyone has any idea's or suggestions on how to prevent this from getting any worse?

I was also wondering, what shape is your top in? Have you considered replacing it? If you have replaced it how bad was it before?
