In your 1A, the one strap plus Velcro is supposed to do the job. Some of the flapping may be because your strap isn't tight enough. The front segment of the strap is supposed to be elastic, and as such will always pull tight between the windshield header and the bow. Most after-market straps are non-elastic, typically made of nylon, similar to seat belt material, and depend on initial fit to provide the correct tension. If the strap doesn't provide the right tension, you may have some flapping.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Will - 382001570 <br><a href="mailto:Tigers@embarqmail.com">Tigers@embarqmail.com</a></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 24, 2019 at 3:10 PM H B Elam via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb( 204 , 204 , 204 );padding-left:1ex">Clyde, I have had two Tigers and four tops over the past 40 years. All have had a single strap. At speed some of them have vibrated and others have not. The longer the tops stay erected in the sun, the better they seem to conform and refrain from vibration.<br>
