Valk, your top looks great. Again, my top looks great, too minus the area where the window starts detaching from the fabric.

Te previous owner was a great guy but never drove the car much. The car had 24,800 miles on it when I purchased it last June and he did about 10,000 of those. He lived in Colorado and said he never used the car in the winter and hardly in the rain (I believe him as the inside looks brand new and so does the outside as well as any hoses and anything under the engine).
He said he knew the car is getting older naturally and figured it would not hurt to purchase a replacement top for the future.
They moved. To Florida early last year and he felt at the time the original top was due for replacement and wanted to be ready for the Florida heat so he installed the top he hard purchased a few years prior as a group buy.

Well, the top didn’t last. Besides the area where the window is starting to detach, the top looks literally brand new but what can I do when the window is starting to break loose? I am assuming that is just going to get worse. Now, I hate that it feels like a waste to purchase a brand new top, because this one is basically brand new but I don’t like the look of the window coming apart and I also don’t want it to get worse so I guess best solution is a replacement.

It’s nice that BAS is giving me a discount on a new top but at the end of the day this top was faulty. Had I purchased it, they would have replaced it under warranty but since I didn’t purchase it they have no obligation. Classic technicality that allows businesses to get out of standing behind their product. But again, I have been around here long enough to know the countless great reviews of BAS tops and so I am not really trying to complain. I appreciate that they work with me, but my point just is that this almost “new” top is faulty and something is not right with it since after one year this should not be happening.
