Convertible top inner flap is for..?
Soooooo... There is probably an obvious answer for this stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. I've been wondering for a while now, what is the purpose of that black inner piece of fabric that acts like a flap that covers the panel over the waterfall?

I believe it's for protection of the rear glass when the top is down? Whatever it's for, it drives me nuts with the top up and the windows down.

Help!
Has anyone found the cure for this piece of fabric flapping around? Mind just started doing it, surprised me, don't want to cut it out. Their must be a fix for the elastic straps or whatever?? Thanks, Dave

Did you notice any difference with anything happening to your glass? To me it seems like it would only protect the glass IF someone had put something in the trunk that would hit the glass, because other than that happening, the only thing underneath the glass is the interior carpet...
