Thanks for the replies. My top has one strap but only connects the back two=
 bows, it doesn't go forward to the front frame that connects to the windsh=
ield. That is why I probably have a little more vibration than I think is n=
ecessary, thank again, Clyde

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 no=
t. The longer the tops stay erected in the sun, the better they seem to con=
form and refrain from vibration.

Clyde,

We totaled 4,700 miles on the round trip from Los Angeles to the TEAE Unite=
d at La Crosse and virtually all of it had the top up. And virtually no fla=
pping.

Our Mk1A has a single nylon seatbelt type strap and Velcro on the sides.=20

When our Tiger was stopped,=C2=A0 the top was supported by the strap. Howev=
er at speed the top hung limp. We had the cowl vents opened the entire time=
 and, on a few occasions we'd have some flapping. We could eliminate the fl=
apping by opening or closing the windows.

<div dir="ltr">We totaled 4,700 miles on the round trip from Los Angeles to the 
TEAE United at La Crosse and virtually all of it had the top up. And virtually 
no flapping.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Our Mk1A has a single nylon seatbelt type strap and Velcro on 
the sides. <br>

<div dir="ltr">When our Tiger was stopped,&nbsp; the top was supported by the 
strap. However at speed the top hung limp. We had the cowl vents opened the 
entire time and, on a few occasions we'd have some flapping. We could eliminate 
the flapping by opening or closing the windows.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Clyde,<br>

<div dir="ltr">There's only one strap.&nbsp; In your 1A, the one strap plus 
Velcro is supposed to do the job.&nbsp; Some of the flapping may be because 
your strap isn't tight enough.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; If the strap doesn't provide the right tension, you may 
have some flapping.<br>

<div dir="ltr">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>
