Just take out the plastic tabs and you won’t see those dimples again. I’ve had them out all this time and have put top up down many times and no problemo. And how would a dent wizard guy know about a...

I have been putting the top up and down a few times already, and no problems so far. I'll update if anything changes, but so far so good.

That's not the right spot actually. If you look right near there, but a little more inward and UNDER the top, you'll see a plastic tab/hook where the strap should hook onto.

You don't have to remove the headliner to see the tabs. All you have to do is take your hand and pull it away from the roof fabric, and look in between. You'll then see it. I don't think it's only a...

I think it does that as well as keep the whole top frame from moving laterally when cornering hard, which could potentially pop the plastic caps off the ball joints. We'll see what happens after...

Makes sense to keep the tape on if the area is worn out. Good luck, and hope this makes your top last longer.

I may be wrong, but you might want to consider removing the other tab as well. If you leave one tab there, when the top is folded, the other side may be tilted, and cause something in the frame to...

F_it! I had those annoying bumps appear in the top fabric even after applying the gorilla tape, so I just removed those suckers just now. The tabs are easy to come out with a T20 torx screw, and can...

The bumps on my top disappear after a few hours. The tabs also are not close to the fabric when open, but for some reason, right after I put the top back up after having it down, those bumps appear....

Cool to hear that the top goes down easier. I really never had any problems with the top going down though, and never had to adjust the glass. How did you guys remove the tabs without dropping the...

I guess we can either remove the tab or cut off the section that rubs against the top. Otherwise, tape on the inside is the only other option.

You have to stick your hand between the headliner and top fabric in order to see it. Once you get in between there, you can easily see the tab.

Haha. Not sure why it's there, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have that there for no reason so it's staying for now.

Yeah, I think it's on the extra bow. I haven't had a problem with wear until now though, and you can remove the tab. I'm just keeping it there for now.

Thanks for the info. Is there a way to adjust the bar so that it doesn't touch the fabric you think?

I'm noticing that after you've had the top down for a while, and then you put the top back up, there's a raised bump in the fabric that eventually flattens, but is clearly a point where eventually I...
