sunrider wind sail correction idea
 
I have thought about super glueing some velcro strips along the stretch where the sunrider comes together in the open top postion. Anyone ever tried this or understand what I am talking about?:thinking:

When cruising over 40mph the top opens up like a dang sail catching wind. I think this would help keep the w folds together if velcroed together properly.

Should I try this or has anyone tried this?

Thoughts?

I just use my velcro straps around the bars, Never had an issue even with 80+ on the freeway

Same here. Are you sure you have it folded back correctly?

x3 on the speeding, just wanna make sure its folded in the W position and use the velcro straps. then enjoy your non sail-like sunrider.

I don't even have the straps and I drive down the highway everyday with the top down, no issue even without straps.

yeah... i'd try using the two straps provided (or should have been provided) to hold it down like in the link above. otherwise, once you get up to speed, a small gust will catch it and poof! you have a drag shute.

I have it up for the second time today..no issues like that...freeway speeds of 60mph...no prob...
