A short while back I asked for some wat to patch small cuts in my convertible top. Although some seemed to have experienced this issue, fold-down care did not seem to be a factor and I often felt it to be cause by the frame scissoring caught material.
Recently, I removed my 46 year old replacement top to hand sew in a new rear window zipper (what a pain). During the process of replacing the top, I happened to rub my hands on the frame and found section welds with very sharp edges that I ground smooth. I can’t be sure these edges are a cause for the cuts, however, it seems potential.
Here is a picture of one of the sections after being ground smooth.
