    softtop question

    Ok I'm installing a full softtop on my new 109. I have everything figured out except the back corners. Looked on the sticky ect no info on this area. There are three ropes in each corner. One that goes up over top which I'm sure ties to the loop (wrap rope around the hoop first?)
    One that comes down side bottom which attaches I'm guessing same place? The third in the one for the back flap, where is that lashed off?
    There are u shaped metal attachments on the bottom sides of the canvas. What attaches / loops through these?
    Can some one post a picture of this areas tie offs?
    Thanks

    They all tie off to the same place. I usually feed the rope through the center of the loop, then around and tie it off - see the pictures.

    For the rope that goes up and over the back - just tie it off.

    For the rope at the bottom of each side curtain - hook it under the tabs on the tub, pull it straight back to tighten the sides, go under the loop, then around the metal hook (attached to the canvas), then tie it off to the loop.

    For the rope at the bottom of the rear curtain - hook it under the tabs on the tub, tie it off on one end, pull it straight to the opposite side to tighten the rear curtain, then tie it off.

    Tie-off steps for loops:
