Interior of 2-Man Top
I'm not quite sure how it happened, but two of the fabric straps on the inside of the top on my '15 Touring broke. The fabric is pretty weak and dry-rotted from age, but because it is original I'd like to make an attempt at mending the straps with a fabric patch hidden from behind. Problem is, I don't remember whether the fabric straps on the inside of the top run criss-cross or just fore and aft. Would somebody with a '15 touring please take a cellphone photo of the interior of their extended top for my reference? Thank you.

No criss cross straps in 1915.

Re: Interior of 2-Man Top
From the factory, there were no webbing straps undere the top.
The top pads serve that purpose and, if they are made correctly, they have canvas sewn inside them. There are two pieces of leatherette top material sewn down the middle tacked between the first and second bow as reinforcement (finished side down in the photos below).
