s4 vert ?
The bottom sides of my top are torn were the thread is but the holes aren't ripped. My friend said he can redo the thread he just need s to know what kind And size thread it uses. Does any one know?

Mine is also ripped near the water holes. One small tear about 1-2 inches on each side where the top folds. I had an apholsterer (sp?) take a look at mine. It was ripped near the threads, but mine was about an inch above the thread. He said that stitching would ultimately fail and he recommended a patch, not stitching. Sounds like yours is on the stitching though. I was recommended something called poly web, it's a compound you heat up that makes a patch. I don't know if this helped you at all, but for what it's worth, it is my experience and I hope it added to the thread.

Please give update when you make the patch repair, then would be good to check back in 3 month intervals as to how it's holding up.
