Hmmm I examined the top today to try and figure out how cloth could possibly work. The only places I can attach the cloth are to the metal brackets as the top's own fabric is not attached at many locations and will be pulled out of place. The only attachment point on the body that I can see working (must be fully reversible for resale value) is the trunk lid (engine cover). Probably something like loosen up one of the bolts, slip a bracket under it, and then attach the fabric to that.
My main concern is the location where the fabric attaches to the soft top brackets. The only location I can see working would have the fabric wrapping around the weather seal, and I feel like this could cause some problems. At the very least it should be taped to reduce wear via abrasion, but I wonder if being squeezed by the fabric would cause the rubber to deteriorate quicker...
By the way, what fabric should I use, and would a tailor have it in stock?
