ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for wind-proofing during inclement weather the connecting edges of a fabric top deployed on four-wheeled vehicles is set out, wherein the fabric top is conventionally secured to the frame of the vehicle by way of various fasteners, the interspaces between such fasteners being further secured by pile strips mounted on semi-rigid material adhesively attached to the vehicle. The corresponding segments of the fabric top are similarly provided with overlying loop strips sewn to the fabric, the loop engaging the pile in a manner similar to that achieved by the material structure commonly sold under the mark "VELCRO." It is intended to dispose such attachment strips at the wind-receiving locations in the vehicle, such as for example, at the leading edge of the door and at the attachment edges of the top.
