Convertible Top Elastic Tension Straps

Factory style elastic tension straps, sold as a set (pair), buy one order per car. Made with Heavy Duty German Elastic & Webbing Materials.

  • Over time, Tension Straps will lose their tension, which will cause damage to the top (cuts & holes) and problems folding the Top properly. If your existing straps lost elasticity, we recommend replacing them to avoid such issues.
