... go to any sewing department and purchase some black elastic strap. 3/4 inch is best. Walmart has them for about $4.00.
Cut two 7" pieces.
Put the top in service position (open about 18") and look at your existing straps. Look at the anchor point closest to the tension cable.
Cut the existing strap leaving about one inch from the tension cable and staple one end of the newly cut strap to it. Don't be afraid of using 6 or 8 staples..
After stapling use some pliers to make sure that the staple ends are flat and won't damage the top's material.
Take the free end and do the same as described but put a bit of tension on the elastic. Do a test with one or two staples and adjust as necessary, then finish off as on the other end.
Repeat for the other side.
Happy Boxstering,
