I tore the 2" leather/vinyl strap with the snap on it that holds down the top when it's folded back. Are these available for purchase? I can't find them @ MOSS. I recall a resent post where someone was used a luggage strap in place of the original but I kinda would like to find original style if I can. Thanks!

Tony,
When redoing my car and my straps needed replacing, I bought some black leather/vinyl material at a fabric store and took the old straps to a tailor shop and they made me two new straps.
The total cost for both was about $10.
They look identical to the original straps.
Just something to think about.
Oil leak?? What oil leak? That puddle under the car is just sweat from all that horsepower!!

I've never used the straps on my car. The top stores away well without them.

In any debate, the side which strays from civil discussion is usually the side that lacks confidence in its debate position or in the merit of their arguments. Making personal attacks on the opponents instead of staying on the subject is also a sign of weakness.
Anyone who feels compelled to respond in kind to any perceived slight is often suffering from narcissism.
