Default TTR Poll: Anyone else have premature wear on their convertible top?

I'm taking my TTR in for its last (50K) service this afternoon and I've got a little gripe about the condition of the convertible top. It looks to me like it's wearing prematurely. Anyone else have this problem? Is it common?

By chance, anyone (preferably those with higher miles) have pics of their top? I'd like to have something to back up my claim to my dealer.

Thanks in advance!

Default What kind of premature wear? I am watching mine closely. Its my first rag-top and I'm not sure whats

normal. I did get Wolfstiens "Ragtop protectant" The stuff is great and its approved for all fabric tops. It protects against U.V rays,water, brird droppings, etc..The company is great. I highly recomend them.

Default I have some spots on the top where the canvas is wearing a bit......

I would never complain tho since it is not an Audi thing, it is a wear and tear item IMHO.

now if the stitching was coming up or something like that? Sure, I would say something
