Soft webbing patten/diagram

Postby Delaneycatz » Thu 25.06.2026, 10:12

Hi all
I’m looking for the patten/design of the soft top webbing or any photos that may help. The webbing on mine has clearly been replaced badly in the past and is not correct. The 2 central bars drop and when folding the roof back up I have to move the rear bar by hand. I have searched the forum and have found some info but need more to complete the job. Any help much appreciated

Measure width of the elasticated webbing, then go to any decent haberdashers to buy some.

From memory its about 2-2¼'' wide.

Toby's video of replacing the hood has some pretty good views of the webbing and how it attaches to the frame rails. https://youtu.be/o27kCCeuSro?si=xyfRdeDz9rHjzOhP
The webbing is held by little pieces of metal that are pop riveted to the frame pieces. Here is a photo of mine.
