Top Stretch Hooks

Post by RustBucket »

How about one of you reproducing the rear deck Top Stretch Hooks. The originals seems to corrode and chip easily. Some new SS one's will compliment the new SS top latch hooks now available. I think the official name is Fastener-Skirt Soft Top, Rear PN:97738-12900
...just a thought.

Great idea. If someone does this, PLEASE, use high quality stainless that won't rust.

I hope all is well with the development process. I know for a fact just by looking at them that there would be a few ways to reproduce them but they all would present unique technicalities to get them right without spending a ton on labor.
