Every time I use the soft top it damages the headlining cloth as you can see in the video, it just started to happen recently.
any ideas on how to fix that problem?

Re: Damaging Headlining cloth every time I use the soft top
Noticed mine like that yesterday for the first time.
Must be a common thing like the other thread with it catching the roll hoops.

They don't have an answer nether, I will try to find a solution to this problem, so far I do notice that it has to do with the soft top back window.Russ59 wrote:Noticed mine like that yesterday for the first time.

Re: Damaging Headlining cloth every time I use the soft top
I found out why my Soft top was making a noise when putting the roof down and it actually helped a lot with the headlining problem
I you look behind your seat you will find this
as you can see the plastic holder has come loose and you can even see where my window was rubbing
what I did to fix the problem is snap the plastic piece back.
I also move this to the back just in case
I seems that the whole soft top wasn't going all the way back because of that, now it works like new Here is a video to demonstrate the problem
