    Hi all! First post so bear with me. Searched for what to call/ how to find replacements for the little foam sleeves on the bows for the soft top. There are three per side two small ones and one larger one. I have a shredded large one.

    Thanks!

    Welcome! I've only had hard tops so soft toppers will chime in. Would foam insulation for water pipes fit? If so they could be reinforced or UV protected with a wrap? Just a thought.

    Looked at Quadratec an couldn't find em. I considered the pipe wrap but the bows are smaller than 1/2 inch pipe. Still might go that route and make em fit. I'm sure it'll be cheaper than OE parts anyways.

    What is the diameter of the bars you need the foam for?
    You can get foam insulation for 1/2" pipe.
    The insulation is pretty thick though.
