    Soft Top Zipper Question

    I getting ready to install a new soft Targa back section with one I got at Hershey last year. I noticed that the zipper on the new replacement is not nearly as substantial as the one being replaced and was wondering if it will be an issue. It looks more like a zipper you’d find on a jacket.

    Does anyone have experience with this type of zipper failing? The replacement didn’t come with a tag so I’m not sure who made it. Installation will be some work so I don’t want to install something that will end up being trouble. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The top I got from Autobahn has a hefty zipper. Part of me thinks you'll be fine as long as you are zipping with the tension off. Time will tell.
