Fixed soft top tension straps that came off of rivets in a couple of places!
Step 1 - open top and place over rear tire to fully expose strap and rivets.

Step 2 - drill or cut out rivets. I cut out rivets with a Dremel tool. Paint any exposed metal from drilling or cutting.

Step 3 - Use stainless self tapping screws and fender washers to prevent the strap from lifting over again. I had drill out the holes a little for the screws. The metal was really hard!
