Hmmm,

I didn't get much interest in the fix for this, so I didn't follow up on the project. If a more folks chime in with a need, I'll look at the product again.

Sorry to hear bout the cracks. Really SUX.

 

I would be interested in some sort of fix so it does not happen to me!

 

I have the same cracks. Came new from the dealer like that.

 

X2 just checked 2200 miles top has never been off the screws have never been touched nice crack starting. next stop the dealer I called them said on phone no problem, We will see

 

Yeah, please post up with what they say. If they tell you that it's normal and don't cover it under warranty, then I'll look at making a kit to fix this again.

 

I'm chiming in.... Please get us a fix. I think we're seeing an early warning of a failure point that we'll all have to deal with post warranty.

Maybe a formed load spreading plate, that we epoxy on???


I wish this top was plain fiberglass.... repair methods for that are well known and simple (although sometimes messy) to do.

 

I've already got the design finished. It's six simple metal plates with High Bond Double Sided Tape on one side.

I just need to follow up on costs, so I can get pricing for you guys.

 

So would a good sized washer on top and bottom be a stopgap for now?


I just purchased a hard top and have yet to mount it so no first-hand experience (yet) here...don't look forward to it.

 

I want some. Was gonna fab some of my own , but if your making them I'll just buy yours, I'm lazy that way.

 

I'd say that it definitely wouldn't hurt.

If I recall correctly (doubtful) the plate that I designed is 2" X 1.5" of .125" stainless.
