Kayline Soft Top Missing parts need help

hey guys bought a kayline soft top on Clist for $250 and was suppose to come with everything. Problem is the whole reason i bought this top was so i can roll up the sides. But the straps that hold up the sides and back seem to be nonexistent. Can someone post some pics of what there suppose to look like? really want to fix this so i can roll it up

YotaR - I just sold my Kayline (not to you obviously) and unfortunately I don't have any pics of the sides rolled up. The straps though are attached to the top, there are 3 per side and they are simply elastic straps with a snap button at the end that snaps to a mating snap on the roof area of the top. You should see the straps hanging down inside the top.

Look here at my pics in the classified section and if you look really closely at pics of the windows you can see the black elastic strap https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f109...ofttop-216828/

Yep, just need some nylon webbing and snaps. I've made a few straps for my soft top to replace worn out ones. You can pick up for 1" nylon straps and a snap kit at the local hardware store and make your own. I recall mine have two female snaps, about 12" center-center. Good to make an extra strap or two in case one breaks or gets lost on the trail.

whats really weird is there are no snaps or holes were the straps should connect too. How hard would it be to put some snaps in never done anything like this how would you do it?

Easy enough to put a male snap on both sides of the top and use a pop rivet to join them.

Easy peezy man, I got my Kaline top outta a junkyard and like HALF the snaps were missing or busted. True Value has a snap kit with install tool and assortment of snaps.

made some straps and i decided to soy some staps in the inside and put snaps on the outside worked great. took a lot of time but well worth it to me put 3 straps on each side and two on the back.
no close up pics but this is how it turned out if u need a reference let me know well get some close ups.
