I need to get some new cordage for the T-Top. You know, the little white rope that you weave through the eyes that attaches the canvas to the T-Top frame. Is there something special that I need? Where would I find this type of rope?
Ted, which product?
I just did mine, got a bundle of 1/8" Dacron cord from West Marine, about $5 for 50 ft (needed all of it to do a ~ 5x7’ top). From what I read, dacron, nylon, or polyester cord will all work, but nylon tends to stretch more.

the real redneck way is tie wraps,you can even get different colors.
Tie wraps don’t really work if there is any flex in the ttop. They just pop.
I’ve had really good luck with zip ties. My be a little “necky” but it works well. ???
Being superstitious is bad luck.
Why would a top on a smooth riding catamaran “flex?”
Are you letting the women dance up there again?

Trust me. Tie wraps are on there now. You lose about 10% of them each trip out.

Is it the zip ties you don’t like or the rainbow color effect
