  View original topic: Pad your ragtop bows or not

Watched Chris Vallone’s how to video on ragtop install. He applies the same felt padding he uses on the interior to the front and rear bows on the actual ragtop. Ive read where some have had trouble with this application and wound up removing the added (optional since OG did not have it) felt. Just wondered if the added felt worked for anyone ?

I did add some light felt that I picked up at a fabric store, but only to the front bow. it just gives it in my opinion a smother finish. They rear looks fine without the felt.
