At the moment we have 22 Roadster owners reporting the problem in germany.

Until now we don't have a soft top that was teared, or had a leakeage.
But in some cases the fabric is really really weak.
So it seems that it's only a matter of time until you'll some get a real problem.
Normally a soft top should last for more than 10 years without any special care.

Some of our Roadster users also use a gaffa-tape (very strong duct tape) to keep the top from wrinkling. But that's only a temporary solution, because the duct tape loosens after a while, especially when you have wet and moisty weather. Not every car is garaged. Some are daily drivers - even in winter time.

Thanks and regards from germany
