I looked good and fit very well. BUT (BIG BUT!!!) when I took it off today, my entire convertible top was covered in shed fibers that show up superbly against the black top. Not happy.
I spent the next 30 plus minutes with a lint roller to remove as much fiber as I could. It worked very well and I damn near got all of it. The pic is after I'd spent some time with the roller, but you can easily see what I'm talking about.
There's no warning on the instruction sheet about using the cover on a soft top and the risk of resultant fibers all over the top upon removal. I looked after the fact. Once was enough and I promptly returned it to the dealer parts department and showed them the pic I posted here. Hopefully others will be spared down the line. It's a helluva lot easier removing a little dust than what I just did.

Ut Oh. I put my new 50th cover on the Might HABU last evening. My drop top might be in the same shape this morning. I hope not. Thank you for pointing this out Andy.
Kindest,
