Drewmotty Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Should this flap at the rear of the surrey top be tucked up between the top and backlight or left as shown in the picture?........my previous vinyl top didn’t have the flap at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi Andrew, I do not have that flappy bit. I would stick it under. I wonder what it is for. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Mine have a ~ 2" vinyl strip with a bead at the forward edge underneath; I suspect that's what that flap imitates. First one came from TRF circa 1992 and the other from Revington which has never been installed; the latter is made from a lighter weight vinyl and is whiter. I always thought the TRF supplied one conforms to the original; comments awaited! Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Tuck underneath. It helps to seal off the weather by compressing as you tighten the bolts. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I thought it looked like the flap should be tucked in but as I will have to pierce the flap for the hold down screw to achieve it I wanted to make sure first. ........ducks below parapet and waits for lewd comments.

Tom Fremont Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 The heavy black vinyl flaps on mine are in fact perforated there. If synthetic, the fabric can be melted at the hole's edges... Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
