okay the zipper on my upper door windows are starting to skip some teeth and and I have a huge gap in areas now. How can I fix that or do I need to go to an upholstery shop and have them fix it. _________________

Hello Keith
Dont know where you live, but a Boat place that does canvas tops is your best bet..They can even change the Scratched up windows..
Was going to have a custom top made when I had my bronco..
Good Luck

Keith:
The above is a good place to go, I've gone to a shoe repair store and the guy brought out a tool that recrimps the slide, and it worked like new. I did this w/ all the zippers, until they just got chewed up. Can you say BESTOP ! _________________ 98TJ, I6, 4" RC lift, 33's, 117,000 mi

Well I found an easier method, and that was to have part of your top rip off during a rain & wind storm causing you to replace the whole thing. I found that this method works best for the zippers. It's amazing being able to see out of those damn side and rear window(s). Thanks for the advice, I still have my soft upper doors and plan on getting htose fixed soon. _________________

Isn't it amazing how much more clearly you can see? You don't even need to waste any time or money trying to clean the windows anymore.  _________________ Nothing to see here. |
