Of course, I was quite surprised when the dealer said he'd replace the
top for those velcro strips, but I certainly didn't comment or complain.
By the way, I've only had the car 15 months since I bought it new in late
summer of 1991.  The work on the top hasn't been done yet since they
had no top in stock.  However, I intend to have the top replaced after
the first of the year.  I'll keep the mailing list informed on this.
