How do you properly put your T-Top in the T-Top bag?!

Hello all,

it seems stupid to some of you, but I don't have any instructions in my T-Top bag on how to store them. What is the good way to store them? I have broke the 2 zippers, so I think I didn't placed them right...

Thanks!

Mine are a snug fit, but I've never torn a zipper in 19 years. The raw edge of the glass goes into the stitched end of the bag (opposite the zipper), then the inner flap goes down. The second top goes in the same way, and the bag can then be closed while adjusting the position of the top sections.

Oh I see, I didn't put the glass in the same position! One was the opposite of the other. Thanks!

When I bought my GTA brand new in 1989 I found that the vinyl separator in the T-Top bag was not quite wide enough and the metal strips would get scratched. I bought some vinyl and had two bags made up which I slip over the T-Tops which I then place in the T-Top bag with the vinyl separator between them.
