[Tigers] Soft Top Boot

[DJoh797014 at aol.com]

The zippers go from the inside corner to the outside.
 
The punched pointed barbs will eventually rip through the boot  fabric.
My original boot is perfect except for the rips.  So I simply put  some
snaps where the barbs went and then put the other half of the snap
in the boot with reinforcement.  Black snaps of course.  May  not
pass the concurs, but it works. and can't be seen unless you
remove the boot roll.
 
Dave - panning on going to SUNI hopefully in my Tiger.

Listers  -

I'm slowly reinstalling the interior on my car (it's been a looong  time).
I'm having a local upholsterer replace the zippers on the original  soft top
boot.  Should the zippers "zip" closed from the inside corner  of the car
toward the outside corner, or reverse?

Any advice how to  install the boot?  It looks like there are small "points"
punched  inward in the sheetmetal to hook the vinyl boot along the top of  the
package tray compartment (the round bulkhead separating the package  tray
from soft top well).  Is glue used or any other  fasteners?


Thanks much, as  always.

Cheers,

Graham
