The problem is whenever you have fabric covering a collapsable joint such that the fabric is in excees of the joint when collapsed, the fabric will either accordian, bend in, or bend out. The problem with the SKY top is the joint fabric can tend to bend in, which puts the fabric on the joint when the joint closes, grabbing the fabric. And yes, eventually it will rip it.

There is a relatively easy operational fix that works for me. When I grab the top to raise it, I take my right hand and sweep my fingers through the joint area and physically force the fabric away from the joint. I don't need to keep my fingers there and risk crushing them in the joint. Just sweep the fabric out, remove fingers, and raise the top. I do this religiously to the point I don't even think about doing it anymore, but just do it as my normal top raising routine.

Yes Sir thats what I do !!!
