Re: Spider top chaif

[DickBevins@xxxxxxx]

I use a bit of self-adhesive nylon tent repair material at the wear points. 
It is available at good camping goods suppliers in blue and black. It works for 
a year or so and then you rip it off and replace it. It has more of a shine 
to it than Sunfast material, but neither my wife nor my dog has remarked on it.
As for keeping the top down all the time, my upholstery guy says it is a bad 
idea unless you like to replace the top frequently. The top needs the 
stretching it gets when it is up. Otherwise, it wears excessively at the folds. Or so 
he says.
