I used a paper stapler to stop the Velcro pulling apart.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone ever see this happen?

POST 2Original post

Yes - its a Velcro strap which wraps around one of the tensioning arms. Put the roof in the maintenance position and re wrap around the arm. If you are not sure, look on the opposite side for actual location. PS - nice leopard skin tights & pink underwear.....

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! That's my granddaughter's fancy jump seat under the sticks

POST 5Original post

This happens on my new top almost every time I use it. Starting to get old now thinking I may have to permanently attach as the Velcro wont hold in place

POST 6Original post

I used a paper stapler to stop the Velcro pulling apart. Its been like that for about 5-6 years.....

POST 7Original post

I just cut mine off several months ago. No problems, even with all the storms lately. No, not the "right" fix, but I was sick of it. YMMV.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
